Why Atiku sought for Tinubu's academic records at Chicago State University
To strengthen his defence at the apex court, the former vice president has approached a district court in the United States to compel President Tinubu's Alma Mata, the Chicago State University, to provide him with the academic records of the Nigerian president.
Following his access to Tinubu's academic records, Atiku had hoped that he would defeat President Tinubu at the Supreme Court and a press conference on Thursday, he publicly alleged that the president forged his certificate.

Why Tinubu may defeat Atiku at the Supreme Court, Barrister Anifowoshe explains
But in her reaction to the outcome of Atiku's voyage to the US, Anifowoshe, a legal practitioner and an author, while speaking with Legit.ng, questioned the possibility of Atiku having strong ground against President Tinubu at the Supreme Court based on the discrepancies on his (Tinubu) certificates because the school confirmed Tinubu attended the institution with a valid transcript.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP candidate in the 2023 presidential election, has disclosed that some governors were sent to him to beg him so that he can drop his case against President Bola Tinubu.
When asked if he was under pressure from the presidency to drop the case, Atiku said some governors were then to him after the election to pacify him, but he did not give the audience.
Atiku then disclosed that he was not afraid of losing his business interest in the case, while recalling how he lost his Intels licence under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
