Senior U.S. judge denies Bola Tinubu’s emergency appeal, orders CSU to turn over records to Atiku, testify under oath Monday afternoon
The ruling marks a major blow to Mr Tinubu and a progress for Mr Abubakar, who has been seeking the records to establish that the Nigerian president tnedered forged certificate.

President Bola Tinubu has lost his emergency application to block Chicago State University from releasing his academic records to Atiku Abubakar.

Judge Nancy Maldonado of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago said the decision of a lower federal magistrate judge on September 19 was appropriate and adopted it in full.

“The Court overrules President Tinubu’s objections to Magistrate Judge Gilbert’s recommended ruling, and therefore adopts the ruling in full. Mr Abubakar’s application is therefore granted,” the judge ruled. ‘In light of the pending Supreme Court of Nigeria deadline, represented to the court as October 5, 2023, and based on CSU’s representations that it is ready to comply with the discovery requests and produce a witness, the court sets an expedited schedule for completion of discovery.”


Ms Maldonado, a district judge, also said the CSU should turn over the records to Mr Abubakar by 12:00 p.m. Monday and also make its officials available for deposition to authenticate the documents by 5:00 p.m. on the same day.

The judge said any attempt by Mr Tinubu to appeal the judgement in the district would no longer be tolerated as Mr Abubakar must transfer the collected evidence to the Nigerian Supreme Court for use in an ongoing election petition case by October 5.

“CSU is directed to produce all relevant and non-privileged documents in response to Requests for Production Nos. 1 through 4 (as narrowed by Judge Gilbert and adopted here) in Mr. Abubakar’s subpoena, by 12:00 p.m. (noon) CDT, on Monday, October 2, 2023,” she added. “The Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of CSU’s corporate designee must be completed by 5:00 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, October 3, 2023. Given the October 5, 2023, filing deadline before the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Court will not extend or modify these deadlines.”

The judge, however, said Mr Tinubu is free to file his appeal directly before the Seventh Circuit, which is the main appellate court overseeing Illinois and nearby states, an attempt that would likely prove daunting given the tight window for compliance by CSU.

The ruling marks a major blow to Mr Tinubu and a huge victory for Mr Abubakar, who has been seeking the records to establish that Mr Tinubu presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission when he submitted his application to run for president in June 2022.

Section 137 (1)(j) of the Nigerian Constitution (amended in 2010) specifically stated that no one would be legitimately elected president of Nigeria if the person “has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.”

Prior to the ruling late Saturday night, Judge Maldonado had acknowledged the significant public interest dimension of the case, saying it would cause her to expedite justice for all parties.

The president did not deny the charges that the certificate was forged, especially as it was purportedly signed by administrators who were not even at the school when he graduated in 1979, but only insisted, alongside the school, that he attended and graduated.

He also said releasing the documents with deposition would cause him severe harm because they were private to him and would not be admissible in the ongoing petition against him in Nigeria, an argument that further fueled nationwide concern about what the president might have been hiding about himself from Nigerians.

The CSU said it would state under oath that Mr Tinubu attended, but it won’t be able to certify the authenticity of the certificate he paraded in Nigeria under oath.

Mr Abubakar’s lawyers would now be able to test the school’s claims, alongside Mr Tinubu’s, during tomorrow’s records release and cross-examination.

Let's see what this man has been hiding desperately

Tinubu can declare public holiday from Monday to Friday to make sure whatever document CSU is bringing will expires before Oct 5th.

You guys are just learning. Who certificate help?

somebody that is finished! As it stands only God can say how exactly this will end.

Perhaps Bola Tinubu will soon be remembered as the disgraced ex-Nigerian president, who was recently exposed as a 2-time jailed former drug dealer and identity thief in the US!

I am sure Tinubu will head to the supreme court. Since Tinubu said full disclose of his academic credentials will do severe harm to his life, that he will fight to it to the last.

I wander why someone who attended and graduated from a school will forge the school certificate

Is this how you're going to wail for the next 8yrs?

The absolute truth is that no patriotic citizen would wish for someone of Tinubu's calibre to be the country's president. He has wallowed in dirt for too long and no matter how hard he's washed; he can't come clean.

Make dem US govt provide 24 hr security for CSU before one fire 🔥 from nowhere burn everything. Tinubu is a Mandate Thief and a confirmed criminal. 😎






Breeze about to expose unpleasant things

lol. this is how nigerians support and suggest evils, yet the same nigerians pray daily for a better nation, but no amount of public holiday can make the released documents invalid.
but the higher purchase judicial system, can always bend the rules, that is the only hope the blow - beating camp have for now.

It is finished....

As e suppose be.

For the first time in Tin-ubu's criminal life he have met his match in Atiku Abubakar who is out to disgrace him internationally.Yoruba muslims will share in his disgrace.

but is it not strange that knowing the personality of our own president, should be a difficult thing like a rocket science ?
indeed Nigeria is morally bankrupt, for such a personality to assume leadership of the nation, with a significant support base among the population.

PigKILLERpromax:
Need to Know if the PRESIDENT is a WOMAN ..MAN..or TRANSGENER..with a fake certificate.

And fake hips

How do we move forward as a country if we keep having people like this.
For your information, dollar is now 1005 naira. Tinubu sold APC to us or are you happy that able bodied Nigerians are migrating to other countries where things work.
Do you like your country as it is now? Remember, APC took over when dollar was 204 naira and a bag of rice was 7500.
You should be ashamed for supporting evil.

transactional politics is a bane. They bribe their through

There is no judgement to appeal. What will be exposed tomorrow are his original documents that contains his real identity. It is very certain that the Bola A Tinubu that enrolled into CSU was a woman.

It is game over for Tinubu. If he is wise, this is the time to resign and throw in the towel.

He never should have forced himself on Nigerians knowing how dirty he is. What a shame.
