President Bola Tinubu has filed an emergency application seeking a review of the judgement that ordered the release of his academic records at Chicago State University to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last general election, Atiku Abubakar.
The United States District Court Judge, Jeffrey Gilbert, had on September 19 ordered Chicago State University to release Tinubu’s records to his Nigerian political opponent as part of an ongoing election challenge proceeding in Nigeria.
The judge, who said the records must be turned over to Atiku today, September 21, also said school administrators must submit themselves to certify all released records under oath.
However, as the school started preparing to release the files, Tinubu entered an emergency application in the district, asking a senior judge to review Gilbert’s September 19 order and delay execution until at least September 25.
