Angela M. Liu, the United States counsel representing Atiku, informed the court that she had made multiple efforts, including issuing a subpoena, to acquire confirmation or denial from the university regarding the issuance of two diploma certificates to Tinubu with varying dates.

Atiku’s counsel argued that these records would help resolve the controversy surrounding Tinubu’s academic background and support the election petition tribunal.

In its response, CSU stated that it would release Tinubu’s academic records if and when a United States court grants the requested order. The university also expressed confusion over the relevance of Tinubu’s academic records to a foreign country’s 2023 election challenge.

Key points from CSU’s response to Atiku’s request include:

1. Confirmation that Tinubu graduated from CSU in 1979.
2. Tinubu opposing Atiku’s application for his academic records’ release.
3. Atiku’s lawyers suggesting that the academic records could be used in appellate proceedings.
4. CSU’s conditional willingness to release Tinubu’s records upon court approval.
5. The university deeming the scope and relevance of Atiku’s requests as “inappropriate.”
6. CSU expressing readiness to engage with Atiku’s legal team to address concerns.

The ongoing legal exchange pertains to the availability and disclosure of President Tinubu’s academic qualifications.
