The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the Supreme Court to admit fresh documents against President Bola Tinubu.
This comes after the Chicago State University released the academic records of president Bola Tinubu who is said to have been admitted as a female student.
Addressing the court on Monday, the lead counsel to Atiku, Chris Uche (SAN) described the matter as a grave and constitutional matter.
He urged the court to adopt the application and grant their request.
Presenting his argument, he said, “The issue involving Mr Tinubu’s certificate is a weighty, grave, and constitutional one, which the Supreme Court should admit. I urge the court to admit the fresh evidence of President Tinubu’s academic records from CSU presented by Atiku.
“Supreme Court must take a look at Mr Tinubu’s records and reach a decision devoid of technicality.
INEC lawyer, Abubakar Mahmoud, urged the Supreme Court to dismiss Atiku’s application seeking to present Tinubu’s academic records.
Tinubu’s lead counsel, Wole Olanipekun, SAN argued that INEC should have been a party at the deposition proceedings in the US, noting that the CSU depositions are dormant until the deponent comes to court and testify.
Olanipekun told the court to disregard any fresh evidence by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar
