Reacting to this development, the PDP national publicity secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, stated that the certificate presented by President Tinubu before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) does not tally with the result released by CSU.
He confirmed that all relevant documents required to file a case against President Tinubu would be presented before the apex court in due time.
Abdullahi also noted that the PDP and Atiku are satisfied with the documents released by CSU.'
According to Punch, he said:
“He who alleges must prove. Now that we have the document, we will tender it before the Supreme Court.
So it’s now for the revered justices of the Supreme Court to see if indeed what we have said against this person can be proven, and then the necessary thing be done per the extant provisions, laws and the Electoral Act.”
“If the judiciary has any modicum of honour left in it, this is the time to prove it and if Tinubu and his people, APC have anything good for Nigeria in their entire conception, this is the time to prove it. Tinubu and the APC should apologise to Nigerians, hand over and go.”
Certificate fraud: "Stop digging", PDP chieftain tells Atiku, gives reason
Meanwhile, a PDP Chieftain, Reno Omokri, has urged critics of President Bola Tinubu to desist from digging into his academic records.
The former presidential aide noted that there are many ways to unseat the President than trying to find errors in his academic records.
According to Omokri, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP would be a better president than Tinubu, but that does not mean that Tinubu did not finish at Chicago State University.
