The case of alleged certificate fraud involving former vice president Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu, according to the Eastern Union, a pro-democracy organization in Nigeria, puts the country’s judiciary on trial.
Charles Anike, the EU National President, asked the judiciary in a conversation with The Whistler to follow the norms with which the American judiciary handled the certificate fabrication issue.
Anike urged the Nigerian judiciary to take a cue from the openness with which Atiku’s case was handled in the US and apply it positively.
Remember that on September 19, 2023, Magistrate Jeffrey Gilbert of the US ordered Chicago State University to give Abubakar access to President Tinubu’s results?
Finally, a senior judge, Nancy Maldonado, heard the case and decided in favour of Atiku, denying Tinubu’s requests for a stay of execution.
