Meanwhile, the Eastern Union, a pro-democracy group in Nigeria, has said the case of alleged certificate forgery between former vice-president Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu puts the Nigerian judiciary on trial.
The EU National President, Charles Anike, in a chat with The Whistler, urged the judiciary to emulate the standards in which the United States judiciary dispensed the case of certificate forgery.
Anike also called on the Nigerian judiciary to learn positive lessons from the transparent manner Atiku’s case was handled in the US.
Recall that on September 19, 2023, a US judge, Magistrate Jeffrey Gilbert, had ordered Chicago State University to release President Tinubu’s results to Abubakar.
The case eventually went to a senior judge, Nancy Maldonado, who ruled in favour of Atiku, rejecting stay of execution pleas from Tinubu.
