The Presidential Election Petitions Court has accepted certified copies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic and work records, submitted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The PDP and Atiku, a former vice president, are contending against Tinubu’s victory at the February 25 election.
The documents accepted on Friday, June 23, 2023, by the Tribunal include President Tinubu’s B.Sc certificate from Chicago State University, his NYSC Discharge Certificate, and a certificate of service from Mobil Nigeria Oil Plc.
During the court proceedings, PDP’s subpoenaed witness, Mike Enahoro Ebah Esq, revealed detail about these documents. He pointed out that Tinubu purportedly obtained them, but surprisingly, they bore the name ‘Bola Adekunle Tinubu’.
Led by PDP counsel Chris Uche (SAN), the witness also submitted forms EC13 and EC9, which are nomination forms, along with letters addressed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as supporting attachments.
However, the admissibility of these documents faced objections from the legal representatives of INEC, counsel to President Tinubu, Emmanuel Ukala (SAN), and the APC, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN).
