Dr. Don Pedro Obaseki, director of research and documentation for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization claimed he already knew that a woman owns the Chicago State University certificate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is parading, adding that Nigerians just want CSU to declare it.
He said, “Nigerians will be more demoralised that the owner of the certificate that President Tinubu is parading is a woman. We already know it as a fact, but we are seeking the release of the documents officially by CSU.”
Obaseki made this statement on Monday at a Zoom conference that was organised by London-based psychologist Prof. Gold Emmanuel.
He went on to say that because of these and other facts in the records, President Tinubu was battling to prevent exposure of the specifics, which he recognised “would bring irreparable damage to his person.”
He claims that when the institution releases information about Mr. President’s academic records, Nigerians will be in for a shock because the true owner of the certificate he has been claiming will be revealed.
The fact that a woman is the owner of the certificate that President Tinubu is flaunting would demoralise Nigerians even more, according to Obaseki. Although we already know it to be true, we are requesting that CSU formally release the materials.

Additionally, he expressed confidence that the documents’ release could force the Supreme Court to take new information into account in favour of the petitions that are currently before it.
“Even when the court of first instance and the appellate court have convicted someone to death and minutes before the Supreme Court gives its final judgement and there arose fresh and compelling facts and evidence, the apex court is bound to listen to the fresh facts before making its final judgement,” Obaseki continued.
“There is an unwritten caveat that the Supreme Court will be obligated to consider the new facts of the law and rule on them when there are compelling factual facts other than those that have already been obtained in the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).”
The campaign director also criticised the Presidential Election Petition Court’s (PEPC) ruling, saying it fell short of delivering justice to the case.
He noted that the PEPC‘s interpretation of the law with regards to the position of the 1999 Constitution ( amended) on the Federal Capital Territory was, with all due respect, an attempt to manufacture evidence.
Obaseki said, “Abuja cannot be called a state. A state, as stipulated in the 1999 Constitution, must have a state assembly of its own. A state must have a governor. Abuja, as presently constituted, is not a state.
“FCT, or Abuja, as the case may be, is patterned after Washington in the United States of America. It is so made that no one part of the country can claim it. It is home to all Nigerians.
“The FCT was carved out of Niger State, Kogi State, Benue State, and Nasarawa State. It cannot be declared a state by the PEPC.
“The PEPC cannot amend the 1999 Constitution through the back door. There are processes to do that. This is one important issue that the Supreme Court must address”, he added.
