The Director of Research and Documentation of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization, Dr. Don Pedro Obaseki, has said his principal, Atiku Abubakar, is insisting on the release of President Ahmed Tinubu’s academic records by the Chicago state university (CSU), principally in order to expose alleged identity fraud.
Obaseki said this during a zoom conference hosted by Prof. Gold Emmanuel, a psychologist based in London, on Monday.
He explained that President Tinubu was fighting to prevent disclosure of details of the documents which he admitted “would cause irreparable damage to his person,” because of this; and other facts contained therein.
According to him, a shocker awaits Nigerians when details of Mr. President’s academic records are made public by the university because the real owner of the certificate he has been laying claim to will be exposed.
Vanguard reports that Obaseki said, “Nigerians will be more demoralised that the owner of the certificate that President Tinubu is parading is a woman. We already know it as a fact, but we are seeking the release of the documents officially by CSU.”
He also expressed confidence that the documents when released, may compel the Supreme Court to consider fresh evidence in support of petitions currently before it.
Obaseki further said , “Even when the court of first instance and the appellate court have convicted someone to death and minutes before the Supreme Court gives it’s final judgement and there arose a fresh and compelling facts and evidence, the apex court is bound to listen to the fresh facts before making it’s final judgement.
“It is an unwritten proviso that where there is a compelling factual facts other than what is already obtained in the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), that the Supreme Court will be bound to accept the new facts of law and rule on them.”
The campaign director also took a swipe at the judgement delivered by the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, which he described as short of bringing justice to a majority of right thinking Nigerians.
He noted that the PEPC‘s interpretation of the law with regards to the position of the 1999 Constitution ( As Amended), on the Federal Capital Territory, was with all due respect, an attempt to manufacture evidence.
