LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA) – Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, has voiced apprehensions regarding the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking through his Special Adviser, Paul Ibe on Media, Atiku said that it is now obvious that President Tinubu is hiding something about his academic records.
On Tuesday, a US magistrate court ordered the Chicago State University (CSU) to produce relevant documents to prove that Tinubu attended the institution.
The ruling of the court followed a case instituted by Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who is challenging the victory of Tinubu at the last general election.

CSU was given 48 hours to comply with the order of the magistrate court.
However, Tinubu, in a motion filed by his lawyers, is seeking to stop the university from releasing the records. The motion was filed before a federal judge.
In a statement on Friday, Ibe said he hopes Nigerians do not have a “heart attack” over what the president is allegedly hiding.
“It should be now obvious even to the blind that Tinubu is hiding something in his records at the Chicago State University, and even elsewhere,” he said.
“I do hope whatever it may be, it will not be of a scope that will give Nigerians a heart attack. Nigerians will soon see the true position of Atiku on the records of Tinubu at CSU.
“It is just a matter of time.”
