President Bola Tinubu has presented his academic records before the Presidential Election Petition Court, sitting in Abuja.

Tinubu tendered the academic records obtained from the Chicago State University in the United States of America to counter a suit lodged by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar challenging his victory as Nigeria’s president.

Recall that the electoral commission, INEC, had declared President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the February 25th presidential election.

But Atiku, who came second in the race, disputed the outcome of the election.

The PDP presidential candidate consequently filed a petition before the court on 21 March, urging it to overturn Tinubu’s victory.

Atiku’s grouse was hinged on alleged fraudulent academic and criminal records, among other issues, including electoral malpractices.

He concluded the presentation of his case on 23 June, paving the way for Tinubu, the APC, and INEC to open their defense.

But, at the resumed proceedings on Tuesday, Tinubu’s lead lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Wole Olanipekun, tendered documents to aid the president’s case.

Olanipekun presented academic records from the Chicago State University, where Mr Tinubu graduated.

He also tendered a letter from the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, clearing Tinubu of any criminal conviction or arrest in the U.S.

In furtherance of his quest to debunk allegations of fraud against Tinubu, Olanipekun tendered the immigration documents of tinubu’s trips to the U.S. between 2011Tsammani-led’s
