The Chicago State University (CSU) had last night finally released the school documents of President Bola Tinubu to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku obtained victory at the court in his fierce legal battle to probe into the academic qualification of Tinubu in the February 25 presidential poll.
Tinubu had supplied certificates from the Chicago State University, CSU, to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to secure eligibility to participate in the election.
A United States of America court on Saturday ordered CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records for verification and in support of Atiku’s petition challenging the result of the 2023 presidential poll.

Justice Nancy Maldonado in a judgment dismissed the objection raised by Tinubu against Atiku’s request and expressly ordered that the CSU must submit the academic records to Atiku.
And the school has obeyed the court order, releasing the documents on Monday night.

Meanwhile, Mr. Festus Keyamo who is the minister of aviation and aerospace development, has urged Mr. Atiku to tender an unreserved apology to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigerians.
Reacting to the development, Keyamo, in a series of posts shared on his X page (formerly known as Twitter), described Atiku’s efforts as futile.
He noted that Atiku’s loss at the February 25 presidential election ‘hurt him deeply more than all his previous losses put together’. The minister, however, urged the former vice president of Nigeria to accept his fate and retire to his peaceful abode.
Keyamo tweeted: ‘From the responses by Chicago State University, ATIKU’s journey to Chicago and back has been a journey to nowhere, a fruitless exercise and an odyssey in self-humiliation. President Tinubu and Nigerians deserve an unreserved apology from him.
‘It is now obvious that the loss of ATIKU Abubakar at the last polls hurt him deeply more than all his previous losses put together; it has since sent him spinning like a drunkard, lashing out to hold on to every single straw that resembles a lifeline. This is bad for his health; he should accept that this game is over (as the Chicago State University responses have shown) and retire peacefully to his famed abode. Those around him have a role to play in this.’
