Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku Abubakar says his principal has dragged president Bola Tinubu before the United States of America District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
This is coming after the former vice-president withdraw an existing case before a circuit court in Illinois. Following the withdrawal, the court consequently dismissed the suit.
Phrank Shaibu revealed this in a statement released on Sunday night in Abuja.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party’s suit against Tinubu is marked No. 23-5099 (N. D. III.).
“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 he wanted to avoid an abuse of court processes. So, this is just the beginning.”
He stressed that Tinubu’s academic records from primary school till university remained questionable, hence the President’s failure to identify a single former classmate.
The statement added: “In the last one week, Nigerians have been watching the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate where nominees have been made to reveal their primary, secondary and university history.
“Some of the ministerial nominees were even classmates with the senators screening them.
“However, the man who nominated them has no educational history. He has no primary school, secondary school or university classmates. This is because he has no classmates. He actually fell from the sky.
“In recent years past Presidents have invited their former classmates to Aso Rock Villa. Even President Muhammadu Buhari hosted his classmates from Katsina Middle School.
But who did Bola Tinubu invite to the Presidential Villa? Governors from 1999 set. This is a man whose entire life, background and credentials remain unknown and Atiku will ensure that the man is exposed.

The statement further read: “That very obstruction to the innocent effort to unravel the president’s past means that the man has something to hide.
“It is shameful that the President’s supporters are joyful that their man is covering up his own past.
“But like the saying goes: falsehood may run for a lifetime, but the truth shall overrun it in an instant. The moment of truth is here and President Tinubu has no hiding place.”
