Tribunal admits Tinubu’s Chicago varsity, NYSC certificates in evidence

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate at the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, on Friday tendered certified copies of President Bola Tinubu’s BSc certificate from Chicago State University, a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate and Mobil Nigeria Oil Plc certificate of service.

A witness, Mike Ebah, said the documents reportedly obtained by the President carried the name “Bola Adekunle Tinubu”.

Although all the respondents objected to the admissibility of the documents, the court admitted them in evidence.

The petitioners are challenging Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential poll.

They alleged that Tinubu failed to disclose details of his academic qualifications in Form EC9.

The petitioners are also alleging that the president distorted his age and has conflicting academic and personal records.

Atiku said Tinubu failed to secure 25 per cent of the votes cast in the federal capital territory (FCT) as constitutionally required.
