APC Chieftain Pinpoints Negative Effect of Atiku’s Probe of Tinubu’s Chicago University Certificate

Oct 10, 2023 | Uncategorized


  • Top opposition figure, Atiku Abubakar, is seeking to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Supreme Court
  • Atiku hopes that the apex court will determine President Tinubu’s fate based on his findings from the Chicago State University (CSU), USA
  • But speaking to Legit.ng, a supporter of President Tinubu and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Ibrahim Muritala lashed out at the former vice-president

Frankfurt, Germany – Dr. Engr. Ibrahim Muritala, the general secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Germany chapter, has said Atiku Abubakar is only trying to “create a hostile political environment” in Nigeria.

Dr. Muritala’s allegation comes on the back of Atiku denouncing the certificate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu obtained from the Chicago State University (CSU), USA. Atiku, a former vice-president, was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in February 2023.

“Atiku should be warned”: APC chieftain

There is an ongoing legal battle between him and Tinubu as he hunts for the president’s educational records in the US.

Reacting, the APC chieftain stated that instead of pursuing “personal vendetta”, Atiku should – like Tinubu – focus on policy debates and unity for the sake of national interest.

Dr. Murtala told Legit.ng in a recent chat:

“Asiwaju´s (Tinubu) political leadership over the years is based on merit, policies, and vision for the nation rather than individual qualifications and personal vendetta.

“Asiwaju is one of the advocates and true democrat of the modern-day democracy of Nigeria.

“He is competent, he has demonstrated leadership with integrity, and dedication to public service, which is the primary business.

“Atiku should be warned by his PDP and his allies in the opposition that his strategy to discredit a candidate would continue to create a hostile political environment rather than focusing on policy debates and unity for the sake of national interest.”
