In reaction to this allegation, Nabena urged Atiku "to rather start preparations for another contest in 2027 as usual rather than dragging the Nation backwards."

He said:

"The registrar of Chicago State University (CSU) Caleb Westberb never said President Tinubu forged the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria.
"Let me use this medium to tell the former Vice President to start preparing for another election in 2027 as usual. Heating up the polity over pre-election matters will not make him President of Nigeria."
