Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has filed a fresh suit against President Bola Tinubu, in the US.
Disclosing this to newsmen, the Special
Assistant on Public communications to Atiku, Phrank Shaibu, in a statement
released, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, withdrew the case against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Illinois County, in the United States of America because
he filed a fresh case against the President in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois.
The Circuit Court of Cook County had
dismissed Atiku’s lawsuit seeking to get access to Tinubu’s educational records
at the Chicago State University. In the statement released on Sunday, August 6,
Shaibu said Atiku Abubakar only ‘’withdrew the case before a Circuit Court of
Cook County, Illinois County, United States of America because he is pursuing
the same matter in a higher court and he wanted to avoid an abuse of court
processes. So, this is just the beginning.”
Atiku’s aide said it was funny that Tinubu
and his supporters were rejoicing over the development as if it were a Supreme
Court judgment. He maintained that President Tinubu’s academic records from
primary school to university remained questionable, hence the president’s
failure to identify a single former classmate.
“In the last one week, Nigerians have been
watching the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate where nominees have
been made to reveal their primary, secondary and university history. Some of
the ministerial nominees were even classmates with the senators screening them.
However, the man who nominated them has no
educational history. He has no primary school, secondary school or university
classmates. This is because he has no classmates. He actually fell from the
sky.
In recent years past, Presidents have invited
their former classmates to Aso Rock Villa. Even President Muhammadu Buhari
hosted his classmates from Katsina Middle School. But who did Bola Tinubu
invite to the Presidential Villa? Governors from 1999 set. This is a man whose
entire life, background and credentials remain unknown and Atiku will ensure
that the man is exposed.”
It is expected that the person to hold the
Office of the President must be above board, especially on his life history.
Unfortunately, here we have a president whose
history is shrouded in secrecy and for whom life started in 1993. Even the year
1993 which presents the opening chapter of the recorded history of our
president is renowned for a documented indictment on narcotics trading.
Now, this is 2023 and Atiku is asking to open
the shady history of our president and the same man is standing in the way of
the truth about his past. That very obstruction to the innocent effort to
unravel the president’s past means that the man has something to hide.
It is shameful that the President’s
supporters are joyful that their man is covering up his own past. But like the
saying goes: falsehood may run for a lifetime, but the truth shall overrun it
in an instant. The moment of truth is here and President Tinubu has no hiding
place”.
