Atiku accuses Tinubu of forging Chicago State University Certificate
At the press conference, the PDP presidential candidate alleged that President Tinubu presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to the former vice president, the certificate of the Chicago State University President Tinubu was parading to be held belonged to one Black American Woman.
Some of the PDP chieftains who were present at the press conference were:
Uche Secondus
Secondus was the former national chairman of the PDP and an ardent supporter of Atiku during the 2023 presidential election.
He was removed ahead of the presidential primary election of the PDP to pave the way for a Southern northern national chairman and southern presidential candidate, but Atiku finally clinched the ticket.
Iyorchia Ayu
Ayu succeeded Secondus as the PDP national chairman and produced Atiku, a fellow northerner, as the party's presidential candidate.
Following the outcome of the presidential primary, Ayu became a point of division in the party. His refusal to step down as its national chairman further led to the party's loss in the 2023 presidential election.
Senator Ben Obi
Obi was once running mate to Atiku and served as senator when the PDP presidential candidate was vice president of Nigeria.
He was the chairman and director general of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council in Anambra State for the 2023 presidential election.

"I didn’t let them come to my house”: Atiku reveals Tinubu sent govs to beg him
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.
