Atiku files fresh case against Tinubu in US court, aide reveals

Atiku Abubakar’s Special Assistant on Public Communications, Mr. Phrank Shaibu, said that his boss has taken President Bola Tinubu to the Northern District of Illinois Court.

Shaibu says that the case number on Atiku v. Tinubu is 23-5099 (N. D. III.).

He said that Atiku withdrew an ongoing lawsuit from an Illinois Circuit Court due to the filing of the new lawsuit.

The Independent National Electoral Commission’s conclusion that Tinubu won the election is being contested by Atiku, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in the election for president on February 25.

Shaibu stated in a statement on Sunday night that Atiku Abubakar dropped the complaint from the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, United States of America simply because he is pursuing the same subject in a higher court and he wanted to prevent misuse of the court’s procedures. Therefore, this is only the beginning.

He maintained that Tinubu’s academic records from elementary school to university remained suspicious, which is why the President was unable to name even one of his former classmates.

“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.”
