The All Progressives Congress (APC) has berated the 2o23 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, over his quest to obtain the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.
Naija News recalls that Atiku had requested the documents to back his allegation of forgery of the Chicago State University (CSU) certificate against Tinubu.
The allegation of forgery was one of the petitions dismissed by the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in the suit Atiku filed to challenge the election of Tinubu.
However, in an affidavit it presented to the court in Chicago, the CSU said the Diploma Certificate, dated June 22, 1979, and tendered to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on June 17, 2022, is valid.
CSU said it provided a Diploma to Tinubu and subsequently provided a certified copy of that Diploma, adding that both are valid and authentic Diplomas of the institution.
In an interview on Arsie News on Wednesday, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, said the latest testimony by the CSU about the academic records of President Tinubu has vindicated him.
Morka stated that the ruling party and its leadership are delighted at the outcome of the deposition of the University, which shows that the documents released are authentic.
The APC spokesman said the political career of the PDP presidential candidate has come to a standstill, and the sun has set on it.
Atiku needed to rest on his case against the president and accept his loss in the 2023 presidential election.
He said, “The outcome of the process in the United States with regard to this matter is just exactly what we imagined and known all along, which is that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was a student of the Chicago State University.
“He partook in the full course of the program and graduated from that school with honours. The depositions by the registrar in the US attest completely to this position, quite contrary to the original case that Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, brought to the court in the US in search of facts and information that actually, does not exist.
“We are very delighted at the outcome because it vindicates the person of the president and his position all along.
“Atiku Abubakar’s political career has come to a standstill. The sun has set on his career. And I think he needs to realise it. He served this country as vice president. He held other positions. That is enough for any individual in this country, who is politically active. I appreciate his service, but he needs to rest this matter.
“There is nothing out of CSU that even begins to suggest that this president, as a student and now as a president, did anything that is questionable or put into question his claims to having graduated from the CSU.”
