Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Counsel to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Angela Liu, has pointed out that the \u201cvigorous opposition\u201d by President Bola Tinubu over his academic records is suspicious.<\/p>\n

A US court had dismissed a suit seeking Tinubu\u2019s academic records after Atiku withdrew the case.<\/p>\n

An aide to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Phrank Shaibu, noted that his principal withdrew the suit in order to avoid abuse of court processes.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement on Wednesday, Liu said Tinubu should be eager to clear the controversy surrounding his academic records at the American institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Tinubu should have been keen to clear up any inconsistencies in his academic achievements and set the records straight by allowing the expedition of the legal process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is an explanation for the discrepancies we have identified, we would think that Mr Tinubu would be eager to provide it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you would like to provide an explanation to us, we are happy to consider it. That might preclude the need for, or at least expedite the deposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn candour, the vehemence of Mr Tinubu\u2019s opposition to this discovery is increasing rather than mitigating our suspicions.\u201d<\/p>\n
