Atiku's voyage to Chicago State University about Tinubu's records
Atiku in his effort to justified its claim that the president did not have academic records, visited the Chicago State University in the United States for Tinubu's academic record.
The university was then compelled by a court in the US to release Tinubu's academic records to Atiku and the public, a development that led to media debates.
Atiku, whose petition against the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), presented the outcome of his voyage to the US before the Supreme Court.
But the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the former vice president over lack of merit.
