APC React to US Court Order on Tinubu’s Chicago University Records

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the recent court order granted in favour of Atiku Abubakar for the release of President Bola Tinubu’s academic records at Chicago State University (CSU).

A federal court in Chicago had ordered CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records to Atiku, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), within two days.

Documents sought by Atiku, through his counsel, Angela Liu, include the record of admission and acceptance at the university, dates of attendance including degrees, awards and honours attained by Tinubu at the university, among others.

But the APC has described Atiku’s effort as “an expedition in futility”.

APC’s deputy national publicity secretary, Duro Meseko, said the ruling party was not bothered by the court order, stressing that the President had nothing to hide.

Duro Maseko said and I quote “The President has always said over and again that he has nothing to hide. His records are there for all to see. Chicago University has also written severally to say that this man is from us. Nothing has changed. There is no cause for alarm. It is an expedition in futility,” End quote.

In its reaction, the Presidency noted that Tinubu’s academic record would be of no value to the PDP presidential candidate, noting that Atiku and his party were simply chasing shadows.

A presidential aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Atiku cannot present new evidence in court other than those he presented before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which ruled in Tinubu’s favour on September 6
