The Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku
Abubakar, Mr Phrank Shaibu, said his principal has dragged President Bola Tinubu
before the United States of America District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois.
According to Shaibu, Atiku’s suit against Tinubu is marked
No. 23-5099 (N. D. III.).
He said the filing of the fresh suit was why Atiku withdrew
an existing case before a Circuit Court in Illinois.
Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party in the February 25 presidential election, is challenging the
declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission that Tinubu won
the poll.
In a statement on Sunday night, 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 abuse of court processes. So, this is just the
beginning.”
He argued that Tinubu’s academic records from primary school
till university remained questionable, hence the President’s failure to
identify a single former classmate of his.
“In the past weeks, 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.”
