CSU certificate saga: Why Tinubu can't hide under privacy law, Atiku reveals

  • President Bola Tinubu has been told not to rely on hiding under US privacy law to stop the release of his academic records from Chicago State University (CSU)
  • Atiku had gotten a favourable verdict from a US court in Illinois ordering the release of Tinubu’s academic records within 48 hours
  • However, Tinubu, through his legal representative, has filed a motion to block his academic records’ release to Atiku

Illinois, US – Atiku Abubakar, the presidential bannerman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has told President Bola Tinubu that he cannot hide under the privacy law of the United States to stop the release of his academic records from the Chicago State University (CSU).

According to the Guardian, Atiku stated this in his reply to Tinubu’s objection to the order of Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert, maintaining that Tinubu’s complaint was incompetent and lacking in merit.
