The university document was in response a request by the PDP and its presidential candidate in the February 25 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku and his party had asked the varsity to provide the acceptance letter, attendance, and other documents of Tinubu's undergraduate days there.
The varsity, however, said it does not “understand” why Tinubu’s academic records “could possibly have any bearing on a 2023 election challenge in a foreign country”.
Omokri challenges AriseTV on Tinubu's Chicago University's record
Omokri had earlier claimed that he was at the Chicago State University to confirm if Tinubu graduated from the institution.
The ex-presidential aide had said the institution confirmed to him that Tinubu graduated from the institution.
Omokri also shared the document he received on his Twitter page on Friday morning.
He then challenged AriseTV and Oseni to publish the subpoena where they alleged that the University had denied President Tinubu graduated from the institution.
His tweet reads in part:
"Can Mr Rufai Oseni and AriseTV now publish the so-called subpoena of which Mr Rufai Oseni claimed on AriseTV on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, that Chicago State University denied Tinubu's records?"

Hope for Atiku as Chicago University agrees to release Tinubu's credentials
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu's tenure may be cut short as Nigerian leader as the Chicago State University has agreed to release his academic records to court.
However, the university said it would not do so until it has a full understanding of the development between Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the PDP in the 2023 presidential election.
The Chicago State University reiterated that Tinubu is a graduate of the institution, clearing the controversies on the president's educational qualification.
