Release of Bola Tinubu’s Academic Records from Chicago State University Imminent Despite fresh Legal Battle.
In a significant turn of events, all attempts by Bola Tinubu, a prominent Nigerian political figure, to prevent the release of his academic records from Chicago State University have been unsuccessful. The university is now in the process of complying with the request from lawyers representing Atiku Abubakar, a prominent political rival.
The impending release of these academic records marks a crucial development in the ongoing political and legal battles in Nigeria. While Bola Tinubu and his legal team have been actively seeking an “Emergency Motions Judge” at the U.S Court of Appeal, Seventh Circuit, Atiku Abubakar’s legal team is well-prepared to respond swiftly.
Recall that Ejes Gist Newspaper previously reported on Bola Tinubu’s efforts to prevent the disclosure of his academic records. However, despite his legal maneuvers, the release of these documents appears to be imminent, and it is expected to shed light on his educational background and qualifications.
As the clock ticks down, Bola Tinubu and his legal team face a tight deadline to secure a judge who can intervene in this matter. Given the limited time available, it appears increasingly unlikely that they will succeed in blocking the release of the academic records.
Atiku's legal team tells me that Tinubu's lawyers approached 3 Appeal courts in the US today without success.
They then requested Atiku's lawyers in Chicago to shift the deposition time tomorrow from 10am to 12noon so as to buy time.
Atiku's team refused.
