ATIKU FILES A NEW SUIT AGAINST TINUBU IN US.

The Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu, in a statement accredited to him, revealed that his principal has filed a fresh suit against the sitting president of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu, before the United States of America District Court. According to him, the suit is marked №23–5099 (N. D. III.).

Shaibu made it known, in a statement on Sunday August 6, 2023, that the former Vice President withdrew an existing case before a Circuit Court in Illinois because of the fresh suit.

He also questioned Tinubu’s academic records, saying the President has not identified with any of his classmates.

He argued that “in the past weeks, Nigerians have been watching the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate where nominees have been made to reveal their primary, secondary and university history. Some of the ministerial nominees were even classmates with the senators screening them,”

“However, the man who nominated them has no educational history. He has no primary school, secondary school or university classmates. This is because he has no classmates. He actually fell from the sky.”

“In recent years, past Presidents have invited their former classmates to Aso Rock Villa. Even President Muhammadu Buhari hosted his classmates from Katsina Middle School. But who did Bola Tinubu invite to the Presidential Villa? Governors from 1999 set”.

Recall that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in the February 2023 general elections recently lost his bid to compel the Chicago State University (CSU) to provide him with the academic records of President Tinubu. He filed a lawsuit at the Chicago Circuit Court, seeking to subpoena the university. But the Circuit Court papers dated July 31, 2023, showed that Judge Patrick J. Heneghan did dismissed Atiku’s case without prejudice.

The judge, who ruled on matter, held that the “petitioner’s subpoena, in this case, is withdrawn and thus Chicago State University will not be deposed pursuant to the subpoena in this case.”

Justice Heneghan stressed that the case, which had Atiku as the petitioner and CSU as the respondent, was dismissed without prejudice and resolved all matters pending before the court.
