The Counsel representing the interest of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in his quest to unravel the controversy around the educational qualifications of President Bola Tinubu, Liu Angela, has said that she was puzzled by Tinubu’s “vigorous opposition” to a request asking the Chicago State University in the United States, to make open disclosure about the matter.
Atiku’s lawyer, on Wednesday, said she had sent an email to Tinubu’s lawyers asking for their cooperation in asking the Chicago State University about documents that are already in the public domain, which have been submitted in proceeding in the Nigerian court.
According to her, the email, which was sent on August 3, 2023 was requesting, “to learn CSU’s position on whether, how, and when they were provided to other Nigerian litigants, and CSU’s position on the authenticity of the documents.”
According to Ms Angela, “Mr. Tinubu should have been keen to clear up any inconsistencies in his academic achievements and set the records straight by allowing the expedition of the legal process.
“If there is an explanation for the discrepancies we have identified, we would think that Mr Tinubu would be eager to provide it. If you would like to provide an explanation to us, we are happy to consider it. That might preclude the need for, or at least expedite the deposition,” the lawyer said.
