Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has fixed a World Press Conference for Thursday, October 5, 2023.
Dele Momodu, one of the campaign spokespersons of Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 25 election, announced this on Wednesday night.
The agenda is not yet clear but it might not be unconnected with the newly released certificates of President Bola Tinubu by Chicago State University (CSU).
Recall that the former VP had requested the documents to back his allegation of forgery of CSU certificate against Tinubu.

The allegation of forgery was one of those dismissed by the presidential election tribunal in the suit Atiku filed to challenge the election of Tinubu, who contested under the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
Despite the court’s ruling, Atiku continued his case at the US court, hoping to get official documents to back his claim and possibly include them in his appeal at the Supreme Court in Nigeria.
Through his lawyers, Atiku sought the following things;
1. An example of a CSU diploma issued in 1979
2. Tinubu’s diploma issued in 1979
3. An example of a CSU diploma that “contains the same font, seal, signatures and wording” as Tinubu’s diploma issued in June 1979
4. CSU documents certified and produced by Jamar Orr, an associate general counsel at CSU at the time.
Although the certificate issue has dominated the headlines in the last 48 hours, Atiku has finally decided to break his silence and speak about it.
