FCT, Abuja - The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his continuous investigation and legal actions against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's academic records from the Chicago State University (CSU).

Atiku, who has been at loggerheads with President Tinubu, filed a suit in a US court requesting the academic records of President Tinubu from CSU to back his forgery allegations against the latter.

The former Vice President is set to use these documents at the Supreme Court after his claims were earlier dismissed at the presidential election petition court (PEPC).

Meanwhile, the ruling party spokesperson, Felix Morka, stated that Atiku's continuous hunt for Tinubu's ouster from the presidency was motivated because his career was at a standstill.

Morka stated this on Thursday, October 5, while speaking as a guest of the ARISE TV breakfast programme, "The Morning Show".

According to Daily Trust, he said:

“Atiku Abubakar’s political career has come to a standstill. The sun has set on his career. And I think he needs to realise it. He served this country as vice president. He held other positions. That is enough for any individual in this country, who is politically active. I appreciate his service, but he needs to rest this matter."
