The Chicago State University (CSU) yesterday released the academic records of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in compliance with the order of the District Court of Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

The court had, on Saturday, ordered the CSU to release the academic records of Tinubu to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, Tinubu’s main challenger in the 2023 general elections.

The development came after a U.S Judge, Nancy Maldonado, in a memorandum of opinion and order, adopted all the ruling of Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the U.S. District Court.

Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had objected to the Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert ruling ordering the immediate release of the academic records by the CSU.

The president had said releasing the documents with deposition would cause him severe harm because they were private to him and would not be issible in the ongoing petition against him in Nigeria.

But Atiku had filed another appeal, leading to the judge ordering that the documents be released within 48 hours.

“The Court overrules President Tinubu’s objections to Magistrate Judge Gilbert’s recommended ruling, and therefore adopts the ruling in full. Mr Abubakar’s application is therefore granted,” the judge had ruled.

CSU, in a certificate of service signed by its counsel, Michael D. Hayes, stated that: “I hereby certify that on this 2nd day of October, 2023 the forgoing response to the Applicant’s Revised Subpoena to Produce Documents was served on all counsel of record by electronic mail.”

Details of the released documents sought by Atiku showed that CSU complied with his request for a true correct copy of diploma for Bachelor of Science degree issued in 1979 and Bates labelled as CSU 0001 through 0007 with an obscured student’s name which the university said was for privacy reasons.

The university, however, said it could not locate a true and correct copy relating to the diploma it issued in 1979 to Tinubu.

The university said, “CSU does not in the ordinary course keep copies of student diplomas, and after diligent search cannot locate a copy of the original diploma it prepared for Mr Tinubu in 1979, hence has no documents responsive to this request.

On Atiku’s request for any of the university’s diploma other than that issued to President Tinubu that “contains the same font, seal, signatures, and wording which purports to be a CSU diploma issued to the president on or about June 22, 1979, the university said after diligent search it located and Bates labelled them CSU 0008 through CSU 0010 and obscured the student’s identity for privacy reasons.

“The students’ names on these diplomas have been redacted for privacy reasons. CSU is also producing Bates labeled as CSU 0011 and CSU 0012 diplomas prepared for other CSU students (with their names redacted for privacy) which match the format of the Tinubu replacement diploma dated June 27, 1997,” the university said.

The university also released documents demanded by Atiku on the correct copies of the documents earlier certified by Jamar Orr in Exhibit D to Uwais Declaration and Bates labelled same CSU 0013 through 0032. But the institution said the communication to CSU between August 1, 2022 and August 1, 2023, was not produced because the objection to them was sustained by the court.

The releases followed an order on Saturday by Judge Nancy Maldonado, in overruling Tinubu’s objection to Judge Gilbert’s earlier approval to Atiku’s application.

She ruled that Atiku’a requests met the threshold and requirements under 28 U.S.C S 1782 as Tinubu’s submission of his CSU diploma to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its relevancy outweighs his privacy interests.

She further noted that Atiku made the request for the documents as a candidate in the February 25 presidential election to enable him tender them in his appeal at the Supreme Court in Nigeria in of his claim that Tinubu was as of the time of the election not qualified to contest.

When ed on the telephone last night for a reaction to the release of Tinubu’s academic records, a spokesperson to Atiku, Phrank Shaibu, said he would get back to Daily Trust, but as of the time of filing the report around midnight, he did not do so. Neither did he reply a text message sent to him.

Controversy had trailed the details of credentials submitted by Tinubu to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

His hope dashed. He disappointed d headless mob dominated by those who hate Tinubu mainly from preventing their tribe, religion
or party from being in charge of Aso Rock directly or indirectly through Jonathan by bringing Buhari.

They never forgave Tinubu for stopping their shine since 2015 till date.

Fake master

Alhaji Atiku should get ready to be sued for heavy damages. It will take a miracle for him not to be bankrupt by the time he is slammed with CSU damages, and especially if President Bola Tinubu chooses to sue CSU too.

Every of those documents Alhaji Atiku wasted hundreds of millions of naira to get have been investigated by DSS well before today and he had access to the confirmed info as a former Vice President of FRN, CSU had responded to his enquiries on record and Asiwaju Tinubu had raised concern that he was out to abuse the court processes on a fishing expedition. It turns out that he did it to embarrass CSU and President Bola Tinubu. Check my signature for free stuffs!

The coming days will be interesting.

Can somebody please link me to the copies released?

I'm just reading and not seeing any copies.

Lawyers are chopin his illgotten wealth here and there even in America

Atiku just killed his own political career.

The curtain has closed on him.

Cool..

You are a chronic liars and fake news carrier, even the arise TV that reported the issue has deleted it, since Nigerians know this even before the release of this Tinubu certificate, his evil ers had already prepared fake documents to filter around the whole social media, so that you will not know which one to follow. We are dealing with a very high organized criminals here, but one thing is this everyone will feel the impact of ing evil against good, because it must certainly get even his ers

They never forgave Tinubu but forgave Atiku in 2019.

Yet it is Tinubu who got the prize they all desired.

The topic shows copies of the 1997 replacement copy that Tinubu submitted, also shows copies of the original 1979 certificate that Tinubu no longer possess.

Also the attestation by the university that Tinubu's 1997 replacement copy is original.

Atiku wasted millions of dollars on attornies fees for documents that were on Scribd for weeks prior to the release. That money could have helped several self help projects in his home state of Adamawa.

It is only fuuls that will say Tinubu didn't attend Chicago State University and only Illiterates will say the error in gender invalidates a school certificate even when the institution as attested to the certificate.
Atiku will continue to chase shadows because he is not destiny to rule this country. All around Atiku giving him false hopes only want to benefit from his stolen legalese.

Now that we got that out of the way, Atiku should be very afraid. Obi will be taken care of he's a small fry.
