Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu sent some emissaries to prevail on him to drop his probe of him after the elections.
The revelation was part of Atiku’s disclosure during a World Press Conference he held, in Abuja, on Thursday.

The address followed the legal battle between Atiku and Tinubu in the US over alleged certificate forgery by the President.
Atiku had demanded and obtained the academic records of Tinubu from Chicago State University (CSU) following a court order.
When asked if he was under pressure from Tinubu to drop the case, Atiku claimed that after the election, he learnt that some governors were sent by Tinubu to reach out to him saying, “I didn’t even let them come to my house.”

Speaking further on the issues, Atiku said that he would not drop the certificate forgery case against Tinubu having come a long way in prosecuting the battle which he said was inspired by the late great Human Rights Lawyer, Gani Fawehinmi and others.
He however, said that he would only stop after the Supreme Court had delivered judgment on the case since it remains the highest court in the land.
