Kalu Kalu, one of the lawyers of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who was involved in the suit filed against President Bola Tinubu in US has made some revelations.
Responding to questions at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Kalu said one of the documents released by Chicago State University (CSU) showed that Tinubu allegedly forged the certificate of a black American.
Atiku had filed a suit against President Bola Tinubu over his academic record at the Chicago State University (CSU).
Although Tinubu tried to block the release of the documents, saying it was an intrusion of his privacy, the court overruled him.
Subsequently, Atiku’s lawyers got hold of the documents on Monday, while an oral deposition was made by Caleb Westberg, CSU Registrar.
A deposition is the process of taking a sworn, out-of-court oral testimony of a witness.
This testimony may be reduced to a written transcript for use in court or for discovery purposes.
Speaking in Abuja, Kalu said, “On the certificate issued or released by Chicago State University to the lawyers of Alhajji Atiku Abubakar. These are the documents; One, that Bola Ahmed Tinubu forged the certificate he presented to INEC.
“Two, that the qualified certificate from Southwest College to Chicago State University bears a female. That means that document does not belong to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Three, the Chicago State University admission application form has a claim that Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended Government College Lagos and graduated in 1970, when indeed the school got established in 1974. The same document has it that the owner of that document is a Black American and the document Bola Ahmed Tinubu submitted to INEC, he denied having dual citizenship which means it doesn’t not belong to him.”
