Atiku to file documents against Tinubu today as CSU saga continues
By Naomisophyblog
Having obtained President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic records on the order of an Illinois, Chicago court, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar would on Thursday, October 5, file his application at the Supreme Court.
Atiku, who contested against Tinubu in the February 2023 election, is expected to file the documents he obtained from the Chicago State University (CSU) in furtherance of his election appeal at the apex court.
The legal tussle concerning the legitimacy of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s president rages on.
Recall that the university released the academic records of the president earlier this week and the CSU Registrar, Caleb Westberg, also carried out a deposition of the documents on Tuesday, October 3, in compliance with the ruling of Magistrate Jeffrey Gilbert.
Gilbert had on September 19 granted Atiku’s request for the release of Tinubu’s academic records but the President filed a review of the order.
Sources in Atiku’s camp confirmed to The Punch on Wednesday, October 4, that Atiku would meet on Thursday, October 5, to file new evidence against Tinubu before the apex court.

The newspaper quoted a source as saying: “Why won’t Atiku submit new evidence obtained from CSU tomorrow (today)? Atiku didn’t go to the US to get the records or evidence to give them to the Akara seller. He will submit new evidence tomorrow (Thursday, October 5).”
