The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to come clean on what it termed “desperation” by its lawyers in the United States to conceal certain vital details regarding the academic records of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Chicago State University (CSU) from the public.
The PDP states that the application by the lawyers urging the US District Court of Illinois not to release the said academic details was in direct conflict with the public declarations by President Tinubu that his academic records were impeccable.
The party quoted President Tinubu as saying; “I was one of those most recruited graduates of my university, multiple honours, first class degree and I have the reference point,” at a public function.
The PDP said in view of the above assertion, the plea by the lawyers that the details of his academic record should not be released is a great disservice to Tinubu in particular and Nigeria in general.
PDP national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in a statement, said, “This desperation to conceal vital information is consistent with APC’s penchant for trickery and underhand dealings in their transactions with Nigerians which has heightened under the Abdullahi Ganduje leadership.”
Ologunagba said the appointment of Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje as APC national chairman, “despite the malodorous corruption and bribery allegations against him in the public domain,” further confirmed APC as not “only being a cesspit of corruption but also as irredeemably given to concealment and condonement of depravity, sleaze and mendacious acts.”
He added that the APC had remained silent on allegations and public apprehension of sabotage in the Monday, September 25, 2023 fire outbreak at the Supreme Court, which is suspected to have been an arsonist attack with the intent to cripple and frustrate the Supreme Court in the handling of the Presidential Election Appeals pending before it.
