JUST IN: Tension As Tribunal Admits Chicago University, NYSC Certificates Against President Bola Tinubu

 

The presidential election petition tribunal, on Friday, June 23, admitted presented by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The documents include a B.Sc certificate from the Chicago State University, USA; the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Discharge Certificate; and Mobil Nigeria Oil Plc certificate of service, Daily Trust reported.

The tribunal has admitted certified copies of academic and work records of President Bola Tinubu tendered by the PDP and Atiku Abubakar. 

The PDP had brought the documents through their subpoenaed witness, Mike Enahoro Ebah Esq, who noted that the documents were “purportedly” obtained by Tinubu but bore the name ‘Bola Adekunle Tinubu’.

Led in evidence by PDP counsel, Chris Uche (SAN), the witness also tendered forms EC13 and EC9 nomination forms and the letters written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as attachments.

Counsel to INEC, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN); Tinubu, Emmanuel Ukala (SAN) and the APC, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) all objected to the admissibility of the documents.
