Atiku files fresh suit in US Court over Tinubu’s academic records

<p>Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general election, Atiku Abubakar, has filed a fresh case at the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, United States, against President Bola Tinubu after he withdrew an existing one before a circuit court in Illinois.</p>, <p>Recall that the county court in Illinois had dismissed the suit filed by Atiku, seeking the release of the academic records of Tinubu at the Chicago State University.</p>, <p>Atiku had dragged the Chicago State University (respondent) before the court, seeking an order compelling the respondent to release the academic records of Tinubu in its possession.</p>, <p>However, according to Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku, the dismissal followed his principal’s withdrawal of the suit.</p>, <p>Arisenews reports Shaibu stated this on Sunday in reaction to enquiries about the dismissed suit by the Circuit Court of Cook County.</p>, <p>Shaibu said, “Waziri Atiku Abubakar only withdrew the case before a Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County, United States of America because he is pursuing the same matter in a higher court and wanted to avoid abuse of court processes. So, this is just the beginning.”</p>, <p>He added that it was funny that Tinubu and his supporters rejoiced over the development as if it were a Supreme Court judgement.</p>
