Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s nominee for president, has pleaded with the Supreme Court to consider new evidence against President Bola Tinubu.
Jerrymusa.com reports that His lead attorney, Chris Uche, SAN, spoke in court on Monday and called the situation a serious constitutional issue. He requested that the application be accepted and their desire be granted.
He stated, “The Supreme Court should accept that the problem regarding Mr. Tinubu’s certificate is one that is significant, serious, and constitutional. I implore the court to accept the new proof of President Tinubu’s CSU academic transcripts that Atiku has provided.
The Supreme Court must review Mr. Tinubu’s legal history and make a ruling free of technicalities.
According to Vanguard Abubakar Mahmoud, an attorney for INEC, requested the Supreme Court to reject Atiku’s request to produce Tinubu’s academic credentials.
Wole Olanipekun, SAN, the main attorney for Tinubu, argued that INEC ought to have been a party to the deposition procedures in the US because the CSU depositions are inactive until the deponent appears in court and testifies.
