7 Key Points From The Release Of Tinubu’s Educational Records By Chicago State University
Chicago State University (CSU) has released Bola Tinubu’s academic records in response to a court order from the District Court of Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division…
The order stemmed from Atiku’s challenge to Tinubu’s victory as the 2023 presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). U.S. Federal Judge Nancy Maldonado, following the rulings of Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert, oversaw the compliance.
