Atiku Abubakar‘s petition, which questions President Bola Tinubu’s election, has been reviewed by the supreme court, but a decision has not yet been made.
A seven-member panel of the supreme court reserved judgement following the adoption of the parties’ separate appellate briefs of contention on Monday.
The fresh documents are President Tinubu Bola’s academic records obtained from the Chicago State University.
Speaking at the court on Monday, Atiku’s lead counsel, Chris Uche, SAN, described the matter as a grave and constitutional matter.
He urged the court to adopt the application and grant their request.
Presenting his argument, he said, “The issue involving Mr Tinubu’s certificate is a weighty, grave, and constitutional one, which the Supreme Court should admit. I urge the court to admit the fresh evidence of President Tinubu’s academic records from CSU presented by Atiku.”
