He said listed the three crucial questions in Atiku’s case against President Tinubu.

“There are three issues here:
“Is President Tinubu qualified to run by constitutional provisions? The answer is yes.
“Did President Tinubu forge a Chicago State University certificate? The answer is No.
“Did he attend Chicago State University? The answer is Yes.”

He said Atiku’s intention was first to show that President Tinubu never attended Chicago State University and that he forged his certificate.

He added that both motives have collapsed.

The Senior advocate explained that the CSU has confirmed by the release that Tinubu attended the university and has not denied issuing the certificate to the President in 1979.
