Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the late Human Rights activist, Gani Fawehinmi, inspired him to make inquiries about the certificate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


Atiku had filed a suit against President Bola Tinubu over his academic record at the Chicago State University.

He requested the documents to back his allegation of forgery of CSU certificate against Tinubu.

The allegation of forgery was one of those dismissed by the presidential election court in the suit Atiku filed to challenge the election of Tinubu.

Despite the court’s ruling, Atiku continued his case at the US court, hoping to get official documents to back his claim and possibly include them in his appeal at the Supreme Court.

He had argued that there were discrepancies in the certificate Tinubu submitted to the INEC which should have rendered him ineligible to contest the election.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Atiku said it should not have taken weeks or months for security agencies to verify certificates of candidates who present themselves for higher office.

“The reputation of Nigeria is at stake. I am a democrat by conviction and citizen of a country that I love.

“I must thank our lawyers, bother here and abroad, for help us bring clarity to this issue that has dragged for about half of a century

“The late Human right Gani Fawehinmi, has vindicated us. Now he can truly rest in peace knowing that the journey he started 23 years ago is on course.”

What is now the outcome if not disgrace 😀😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😀😀😀🤣🤣😀😀😀😀😀

The outcome/disgrace is that the "number 1" citizen of the country, went to print his certificate from a business center

Worse still, they didn't bother to check if the person whose signature is being forged is still a staff of the school? American school for that matter!!!


These people don see naija finish but the pain now is that the school is in a sane country hence the global disgrace

At least if it were university in Nigeria, we for manage the matter low key.

Now the world is looking at us with corner eye
