Chicago State University (CSU) has released more academic records of Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the just concluded presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, had asked the varsity to release to him the academic records of his political opponent in the last general elections in Nigeria.
Atiku is currently challenging the declaration of Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the February 25 poll.
Parts of Atiku’s petitions include challenging the academic records of the APC presidential candidate.
He argued that Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago State University as claimed in his academic records.
In a copy of the latest judgment by the US Court, Judge Nancy Maldonado, noted that CSU raised no objection to Judge Jeffery Gilbert’s decision that Tinubu’s academic record be made public.
The court explained that any intrusion on Tinubu’s privacy interests in his educational records is outweighed by Atiku’s interest in the sought-after discovery.
Maldonado overruled Tinubu’s objections to Gilbert’s recommended ruling and therefore adopted the ruling in full.
Subsequently, CSU on Monday night, released a 32 page document revealing Tinubu’s full academic records with the varsity.
