Certificate scandal: Why Atiku deeply despises Tinubu – APC

• Recall that Chicago State University had during a deposition at a United States Court in Chicago said they did not issue the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC to contest for the election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has downplayed the gravity of the forgery allegation levelled against President Bola Tinubu by former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Recall that Chicago State University had during a deposition at a United States Court in Chicago said they did not issue the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC to contest for the election.

At a press conference yesterday in Abuja, Atiku opened a can worm of Tinubu’s past misdeeds and unpalatable actions, the allegations were mostly based on the documents he obtained from the Chicago State University.

Reacting to allegations against Tinubu, the APC
said that it is unfazed by allegations made against the President by Atiku, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election.

The APC stated that Atiku is deeply resented of Tinubu because, according to them, he believes Tinubu was responsible for his electoral woes in 2007, 2015, 2019 and this year.

The APC, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said that Atiku delivered nothing except the pitiful regurgitation of lies, mindless distortions and deliberate falsehood on his infantile obsession with the academic record of Tinubu

The party said that Atiku has been out there for several weeks now, displaying utter desperation in his bid to become the President of Nigeria.

The APC said that Atiku’s press conference was a calculated attempt to whip up public sentiments and inordinately pressure the Supreme Court.

“We believe Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should have known better than to demonstrate gross contempt of the highest court by making public comments on a matter that he has submitted to the court for adjudication

“The major takeaway from his Yar’Adua Centre show, especially at question time, was that Atiku harbours deep animosity towards Tinubu, whom he believes was responsible for his electoral woes in 2007, 2015, 2019 and this year” the statement read.
