Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, claimed on Thursday that the dispute surrounding the certificate from Chicago State University that President Bola Tinubu submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission puts Nigeria’s credibility in jeopardy.
He additionally urged the relevant parties to prove the veracity of the President’s certificate that was submitted to the electoral umpire in order to safeguard the democratic principles.
“The reputation of our country is at stake and that affects Nigerians everywhere and wherever they may be,” Atiku, who was Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, said while briefing journalists in Abuja.

Atiku, however, urged the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party and the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso respectively to join him in fighting for justice for the country.
“This quest is not for or about Atiku Abubakar; it’s a quest for the enthronement of truth, morality, justice, and accountability in our public affairs.
“In line with this, let me call on all well-meaning Nigerians, leaders of thought, religious, traditional, community, and political leaders.
“In particular, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso of NNPP, leaders of political parties in Nigeria, and every single person who loves this country as I do, and who wishes nothing but the best for this country to join me in this campaign to enshrine accountability, and the basic principles of justice, morality, and uprightness in our country and in our government,” Atiku said.
