*Excerpts from the Ruling!*
U.S. court orders Chicago university to release Bola Tinubu’s records to Atiku Abubakar within two days, certify authenticity under oath

The Nigerian opposition leader said the documents would be used as part of his ongoing push to demonstrate Bola Tinubu’s ineligibility to be Nigeria’s president.

Nigerian opposition leader Atiku Abubakar has landed a major victory in the United States as part of his ongoing push to demonstrate Bola Tinubu’s ineligibility to be Nigeria’s president.

A federal court in Chicago ruled on Tuesday night that Chicago State University (CSU) must turn over all records relating to Mr Tinubu to Mr Abubakar within two days, saying the former vice-president has been able to sufficiently satisfy the purpose for seeking the records, according to the ruling seen by Peoples Gazette.

Judge Jeffrey Gilbert also ordered a deposition of designated CSU officials within two days after the records have been released, noting further that the process can be conducted during the weekend if necessary.

“For all of the reasons discussed above, Atiku Abubakar’s application pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1782 for an order directing discovery from Chicago State University for use in a foreign proceeding [ECF No. 1] is granted,” Mr Gilbert ruled. “Respondent CSU shall produce all relevant and non-privileged documents in response to requests for production Nos. 1 through 4 (as narrowed by the court) in applicant subpoena within two days of the entry of this memorandum opinion and order.”

“The deposition of respondent’s corporate designee shall proceed within two days of the production of documents. The parties can modify the dates set by the court by mutual agreement. Given the tight time frame under which the parties are operating, the deposition can, if necessary, occur on a non-weekday,” the court added.

The order comes hours after Mr Abubakar filed his appeal to the Supreme Court, following the September 6 judgement of the presidential election petitions tribunal that upheld Mr Tinubu’s victory.

Mr Abubakar had on August 2 filed an application for the court to order CSU to produce documents relating to Mr Tinubu, as well as leave to get the school’s administrators to authenticate any documents submitted under oath.

Mr Abubakar said the documents would be used as part of his ongoing challenge against Mr Tinubu’s election earlier this year. The candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party said Mr Tinubu should not have been allowed to run for president because he had submitted a forged document under oath in violation of the Nigerian Constitution.

Section 137 (1)(j) of the Nigerian Constitution (amended in 2010) specifically stated that no one would be legitimately elected president of Nigeria if the person “has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.”

On June 17, 2022, Mr Tinubu submitted a certificate to INEC that was purportedly issued in 1979 and signed by Elnora Daniel. But Ms Daniel only arrived at CSU in 1998 from Hampton University, 19 years after Mr Tinubu was said to have graduated. She left the school in 2008 following a financial mismanagement scandal, or 14 years before June 2022 when CSU issued yet a fresh certificate in Mr Tinubu’s name under subpoena from a Nigerian lawyer who had inquired about Mr Tinubu’s education there.

The irregularities prompted Mr Abubakar to file the suit to compel CSU to produce records relating to Mr Tinubu and make its top officials available for deposition to certify the produced records, according to the Nigerian opposition leader’s lawyers.

During a hearing on the matter on September 12, the CSU’s lawyer Michael Hayes, said the school could not authenticate Mr Tinubu’s certificate if asked under oath, although he said Mr Tinubu attended the school and graduated in 1979.

Mr Tinubu’s lawyers, led by Christopher Carmichael, argued that the court should not grant Mr Abubakar’s application because it was a frivolous expedition aimed at soiling the Nigerian president’s image.

Mr Tinubu’s lawyers also argued that Nigerian Supreme Court would not accept fresh evidence that was not produced during the tribunal proceeding.

But Mr Abubakar’s team, led by Angela Liu, had argued that the Supreme Court would accommodate the fresh facts under unique circumstances, especially as they were not available to the Court of Appeal, which is the court of first instance in a presidential election dispute.

But Judge Gilbert said courts across the U.S. have traditionally taken a broad and liberal view in granting applications under Section 1782, a statute that allows the release of documents and evidence domiciled in the U.S. to be obtained and used in a foreign proceeding.

This is what i call sound fair, foolproof judgement.

Release the damn records & bring your school officials for deposition! Any lying, straight to jail on behalf of the narco mule! I hope they collected enough dollars from the crook!

U.S COURT ORDERS DEPOSITION OF CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY OVER BOLA TINUBU’S CREDENTIALS
Aside ordering the release of Bola Tinubu’s academic records, U.S Judge Jeffrey Gilbert also ordered a deposition of Chicago State University within two days where officials of the school would be questioned under oath.


That oath they dont want to be under, finally they will! US of A is not some banana republic where certificate forgers & Narco traffickers hold sway!

From Next month, FBI would start dropping their own......

In the voice of pastor Adeboye, some promotions is a ploy to disgrace you!

I hope when the so called archive on tinubu is released and it is not "obidient" you wont turn around and insult this judge.

Because if you do na thunder go faya your people.

You have no clue what Asiwaju is passing through. Let me give a gentle peep.

1. There is a secret US protocol called "Operation stone cold". A protocol where the leader of a foreign country is ignored wilfully by anyone, everyone involved with the US in some way! All American allies is let in the know of this. Asiwaju is currently having that on his coco filled head. The evidence is illustrated on this pic!

2. The FBI have thousands of documents on Asiwaju and his links to cartels, narco traffickers ruining the lives of young & old Americans; including the son of POTUS; Hunter Biden. Initially, FBI refused to release these docs, but when "Operation Stone Cold" became official, they have no choice but to..... expect 2500 of these documents next month. Since you lot wants to throw Nigeria to the dogs, i am glad the Americans would lend a hand!

3. The world and who is who is now alert as to who this gate crasher is; A PURE FRAUD! Fraudsters are not welcomed to parties where big boys fought hard, and legit to enter. Asiwaju has been told in clear terms he is not welcomed, president or not!

Even common snapping of picture, they will never oblige him. After the disgrace in India, werey rush go Dubai, a second rate career civil servant welcomed him at the airport and after lying as usual, werey think say he don escape, only for Dubai officials to debunk & trash his lies!

Las las, he will see the futility of holding a stolen mandate!

Big shame! This is a country where the institutions areuch more stronger than its leadership hence there is often probity and accountability. Unlike the case in Nigeria where the fraudulent leadership are involved in criminal state capture.

Do you understand what we mean by forged document? Forgery “an illegal copy of a document, painting, etc. or the crime of making such illegal copies:” A university that cannot say if the copy was illegal or not, cannot prove forgery. And the university cannot prove forgery because it has made several errors in other documents that it becomes difficult for them to claim forgery, especially where they cannot claim forgery for other documents containing clerical errors. Clerical errors are completely different from forgery. The deposition of the university cannot be different from what their lawyers have claimed on oath in court. Therefore, Atiku is wasting his time. That document will not be declared as forged.

Kudos to Udoka from the State of Virginia! Wholesome! Please send details of how you want to receive the money spent for the flowers. I need more flowers sent to honorable Judge Jeffrey Gilbert, for his Solomonic judgement yesterday! This brave judge deserve nothing less than 50 flowers to decorate his home & office, in appreciation of his decision to stand on Justice, freedom of the Judiciary and common sense! Nigeria still have sane people!

Only for people in the US please, before these Asiwaju miscreants go send toxic substance to the judge under false pretense that it was from us! If you are in the UK, i know Asiwaju miscreants plenti there, like that werey that called into George Galloway Show, please you guys are not eligible to send. If you are in Canada, same. Pele....Only those in the US please, because i am sure the Law would identify every sender... should there be need for it!

I know supporters of Asiwaju falls under three categories:
1. Those stupid ones here on nairaland. Due to years of severe misrule, they are unoblivious of the true situation they are.
2. Those that seeks gain for their support such as that cultist Nobel Prize winner in Literature, chop chop FFK & Reno the jobless scavenger. You all know him Yes the rice contractor!
3. Fellow substance abusers, crooks, certificate forgers who naturally would be sympathetic to one of their own.
So bro, i dont know which category you fall under, but i guess category 1.

Now, let's assume you have sense. You got admission to a university, paid school fees, attend classes & graduate. Then in court, the school say they can not authenticate what they issued you, mind you, you claimed they issued you what you parade, no bi for that same court the fight or argument go start of how this & that official issued you that certificate? But i know say most Asiwaju supporters no get Follow-come sense!

The association of Nigerian criminals and their committed fans will need to find a way to help the CSU representatives explain under oath how Elnora Daniel could have signed a valid certificate for their man.

These clowns have become so accustomed to insanity that they can't imagine a world without it.

Not only will CSU release all records associated with Asiwaju, including internal memos written by staff about his person, but also, they will present CSU officials for deposition under oath! Their lawyer is a smart ass werey who knew before hand that the judge would order a release, that is why he said they can not authenticate what they gave Asiwaju or what Asiwaju claimed they gave him (Because no official record exist that they actually issued him any certificate!)

See why i think honorable judge Jeffrey Gilbert deserve these beautiful flowers sent by lovers of freedom for the Judiciary!

We should not blame the judges 100 percent. They also have bills to pay. They have children in the Universities.
Politicians are deliberately starving them of funds so they can be answerable to the powers that be.

Typical obidient.

Go on, its called hysteria.

Again when your expectations are cut short dont change the narrative.

Those ones in America or UK has no bills to pay right? ...... MOST JUDGES in Nigeria are simply crooks! So that one that disguised like a cripple to meet the werey in UK is also starved off funds? When in essence he is the one releasing the money to others! See them so shamelessly trying hard to down play the multitude of evidence tendered by HE Peter Obi & AA!

I can imagine that retired one from Imo state spewing nonsense before the judgement. Well, every serious country on earth know Nigeria is led by unserious leaders who have carved a niche as certificate forgers!

Such shameless low lives!

I expect no sane ruling from a corrupt CJN who disguised like a cripple under false pretenses to meet a drug mule in UK.....and got busted by an eagle eyed Obidient at the airport.........get it now? In short, I'd be mighty surprised if he actually used the law in his ruling, and rule against a fellow crook. We sabi them!

They are looking for youths to protest so they will release their useless, sick, gun wielding monsters on...na lie, na for international community we go dey waylay them! Like they did at Lekki Toll gate. Shey they have finally acknowledged hundred of unclaimed boodies at Lagos Morgue?

100% agreed. It is the responsibility of the sane to work together, and make irrelevant, the insane, in the course of making Nigeria a functioning society! The era of big man without any clear & visible means of making money is gone! Wealth without enterprise will fade out with Asiwaju. Narco traffickers holding or running shows with state govs will end with Asiwaju!

Racoon:
Big shame! This is a country where the institutions areuch more stronger than its leadership hence there is often probity and accountability. Unlike the case in Nigeria where the fraudulent leadership are involved in criminal state capture.

It appears Nigerians in the US really appreciated honorable judge Jeffrey Gilbert ruling for full release of all records associated with Asiwaju. Thanks Idowu from the State of New York. Send your details for rebate please!

Nigerians home & abroad yeans for a sane homeland, and i am glad judges in the UK & US is helping us tame our wild, over-fed, bloated politicians back home!

cocaine trafficking nko? Even the primary school he claimed to attend in Nigeria is non existent. How about the Man that signed his forge documents 12yrs before he became a staff of the CSU? It's one thing to start school, it's another to finish. It's obvious he finished through the back door as usual.🙄

You guys are shameless because the judge granted your wish it’s a sane judge but another judge clarified BATs forfeiture to be civil one you’re all criticizing him . It’s a good thing that the world doesn’t revolve around your emotions and wailing 😭 I’ll be expecting more after the Supreme Court judgement.

Now, it's all praises when things appear to be going your way. But at the end of the day when Tinubu is vindicated would you accept the result?

You do not need to tell a sane judgement..... Are you referring to the judgement allegedly written by a former gov, or the one a retired supreme court justice indirectly made public at a function, or the ones that are fair to all parties and directly in line with known Statues?

If una wan dey show una shallowness, confine it to Cash-4-Judgement justices, not for sane honorable justices like Jeffrey Gilbert!
