The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last general election Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is set to address a press conference over the controversies around the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.
The hint was given by publisher and media personality Otunba Dele Momodu.
Momodu, in a tweet on his X handle, said the the press conference would be streamed on all online platforms of the former Nigerian vice president.
“BREAKING: HE Atiku Abubakar will host an international press conference tomorrow, 5th Oct 2023.
It will be streamed on his social media platforms and be covered live by the both International and Local Media Networks.”
Recall that Atiku is challenging the election of Tinubu after the February 25 presidential poll where Tinubu was declared winner.
Part of Atiku’s ground for rejecting Tinubu’s as Nigeria’s president is his academic credentials which he has said are not clean.
The development had led to the PDP candidate approaching the Chicago State University to release the academic records of its former student.
While the institution had initially declared the request on the grounds that it is personal to their owners, Atiku had approached a United States court to mandate the university to release the records.
The records which were released on Tuesday, had ignited another wave of controversy.
Atiku and his camp have concluded there are more than meet the eyes over the record of the President.
