Atiku’s Attorneys receive Tinubu’s academic records from Chicago State University (CSU) as ordered by Judge Nancy Maldonado of the Northern District Court of Illinois.
It has also been confirmed that at least two staff of the University will make a deposition before Judge Jeffrey Gilbert.
You may recall that some day, the Court ordered the University to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar by Tuesday.
Maldonado, dismissed Tinubu’s objection, issuing a two-day ultimatum to CSU to release the documents to Atiku.
Maldonado also upheld the ruling of the Unites States Magistrate Judge, Jeffery Gilbert, who ordered the CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records as requested by Atiku.
She stressed that Atiku, who
contested under the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) had the right to have access to the records.
“For the reasons stated in the Court’s accompanying Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Court overrules President Tinubu’s objections (44) and adopts Judge Gilbert’s recommended decision (40) in full.
“The Court therefore grants Mr.
Abubakar’s application under 28

Maldonado of the Northern District of Illinois ruled.
According to the judge, CSU must complete all necessary filings regarding the release by 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
The court ruled, “Respondent CSU is directed to produce all relevant and non-privileged documents in response to Requests for Production
