The Presidential Election Petition Court today admitted as exhibits the Chicago State University educational documents of President Bola Tinubu, who formally opened his defence in a petition filed against his election by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Abubakar Atiku.
The educational documents tendered to establish his attendance and graduation at the American University comprised, among others, the admission letter offered to Tinubu by the famous institution.
Through his lead counsel, Wole Olanipekun, SAN, President Tinubu also tendered his US Visa documents, which indicated unhindered visit between 2011 and 2021, to debunk allegations of criminality contained in the petition against him.
The documents were admitted in spite of rigorous objections against their respective admissibility by Peoples democratic Party and the former Vice President.
Justice Haruna Tsammani, adjourned hearing until tomorrow for mention.
