The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, have tendered certified copies of academic and work records of President Bola Tinubu to the Presidential Election Petitions Court.
The petitioners submitted the documents on Friday, and the court admitted them.
The documents were a B.Sc. certificate from Chicago State University, an NYSC discharge certificate, and a Mobil Nigeria Oil Plc certificate of service.
Mike Enahoro-Ebah, the petitioners’ witness, brought the documents to court. He introduced himself as a private legal practitioner.

Chris Uche, Lead Counsel to the PDP, led the witness in evidence.
