Tinubu’s pushback over academic records is suspicious – Atiku’s US lawyer

A US court had dismissed a suit seeking Tinubu’s academic records after Atiku withdrew the case.

An aide to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Phrank Shaibu, noted that his principal withdrew the suit in order to avoid abuse of court processes.

“If you would like to provide an explanation to us, we are happy to consider it. That might preclude the need for, or at least expedite the deposition.

“In candour, the vehemence of Mr Tinubu’s opposition to this discovery is increasing rather than mitigating our suspicions.”
