By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar explained at his press conference on Thursday he will not back down from his fight with President Bola Tinubu over his forged certificate, so as to enthrone justice in Nigeria.
Atiku’s lawyer Kalu Kalu listed at the event in Abuja at least five facts he said have emerged from the deposition of Chicago State University (CSU) on Tinubu’s academic records that will be tendered at the Supreme Court.
Kalu highlighted the five grounds when he fielded questions from journalists.
Tinubu forged certificate presented to INEC
“On the certificates issued or released by Chicago State University to the lawyers of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. These are the documents. One is that Bola Ahmed Tinubu forged the certificates he presented to INEC [Independent National Electoral Commission]. That is one,” he said.
Southwest College transcript belongs to a female
“Two; that the qualifying certificate from Southwest College to Chicago State University bears a female indicating that that document does not belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

Tinubu claimed to have attended a secondary school before it was established
“Three, the Chicago State University Admission application form has a claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended Government College, Lagos and graduated in 1970 when indeed the school was established in 1974,” Kalu added, per SaharaReporters.
Owner of transcript is a Black American
“The same document has it that the owner of that document is a Black American; and the documents Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC. He denied having a dual citizenship, which means it does not belong to him.”

“Then the same document, oral deposition, says that the Bola A is Ahmed. But the NYSC certificate Bola Ahmed submitted to INEC has Adekunle, I don’t know where the Adekunle and the Ahmed emerged from.”
Supreme Court has accepted fresh evidence in previous cases
“So on the second arm of your question, of what use will it be in the Supreme Court? it is very, very clear that’s from the decided authorities, the Supreme Court has held that they can accept a party to adduce fresh evidence as long as certain conditions are met and from what transpired in the proceedings in US courts, that condition has already been met.
“So as we speak, our law is very clear that a party at fault cannot be allowed to enjoy the fruit of his illegality.”
