Atiku to address international press conference Thursday

Caleb Westberg, CSU's registrar, earlier said though Tinubu graduated from the institution, it did not issue the diploma certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the 2023 presidential election.

In an apparent bullish mood, Sani wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle:

“Today is a great day!"
  1. Topic showcasing a deposition of a forged certificate.
  2. A certified True Copy (CTC) of the deposition will be circulated.

"Tinubu's certificate was forged": Bwala

In an earlier report by Legit.ng, Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson to the defunct Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, alleged the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC did not emanate from the CSU.

The PDP chieftain said considering the certificate was allegedly not certified by the CSU, “it is a conclusive proof that it was forged”.

'Issue of admissibility of fresh evidence critical'

Monday Ubani, a former chairman, Section of Public Interest and Development Law (SPIDEL), Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), earlier said it would be difficult for the Supreme Court to admit fresh evidence in the appeal of the judgement of the presidential election petition tribunal.

Ubani said it would take a lot from Atiku’s legal team to convince the Supreme Court to admit fresh evidence in the appeal of the election tribunal's verdict.
