POSTED ON October 7, 2023 •   POLITICS      BY Ugwuagwu John
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has filed academic records of President Tinubu, obtained from the Chicago State University, as fresh evidence. These records were released following a court order in the United States, instructing the institution to provide the documents.

His legal team submitted the new evidence to the Supreme Court. The specific prayers and details of the filing are not disclosed, but it is expected to support his claims of forgery and perjury. Atiku's lawyers aim to complement the grounds of appeal filed earlier with this new evidence. The fresh evidence related to the alleged forgery strengthens his case against President Tinubu. The PDP chieftain is determined to pursue the matter to its conclusion and has included allegations of forgery and perjury in the grounds of appeal. Punch reports that one of the counsel for Atiku, Kalu Kalu, had said at the press conference by the former vice president on Thursday: “One, that Bola Ahmed Tinubu forged the certificate he presented to INEC. Two, the qualifying certificate from South West College to Chicago State University bears a female name, indicating that that document does not belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “Three, the Chicago State University admission form has a claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended Government College Lagos and graduated in 1970 when indeed, the school was established in 1974. “The same document has it that the owner of that document is a black American, and in the document Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC, he denied having dual citizenship, which means it does not belong to him. Then, the same document, oral deposition, said the A in Bola A. "Tinubu is Ahmed, but the NYSC certificate Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC has Adekunle. I don’t know where Adekunle emerged from.” https://twitter.com/DokunOjomo/status/1710497337666113998
