Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Presidential candidate of the People\u2019s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has again emerged victorious in his fierce legal battle to probe into the academic qualification of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential poll.<\/p>\n

Tinubu had supplied certificates from the Chicago State University, CSU, to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to secure eligibility to participate in the election.<\/p>\n

A United States of America court on Saturday ordered CSU to release Tinubu\u2019s academic records for verification and in support of Atiku\u2019s petition challenging the result of the 2023 presidential poll.<\/p>\n

Justice Nancy Maldonado in a judgment dismissed the objection raised by Tinubu against Atiku\u2019s request and expressly ordered that the CSU must submit the academic records to Atiku.<\/p>\n

The judge in the judgment granted all the four grounds upon which the former Vice-President predicated his case in the US court.<\/p>\n

Justice Maldonado said that Tinubu\u2019s violent rhetoric cannot take the place of evidence, hence, the order that the academic records be released in the interest of justice.<\/p>\n

The judge specifically issued an ultimatum of 48 hours within which the university must comply with her order and release the controversial academic records to the PDP presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Justice Maldonado in the judgment pointed out that Tinubu did not adduce any sound evidence to upturn the judgment of the Magistrate Court which had earlier granted Atilku\u2019s request before Tinubu moved to scuttle execution of the order.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that the Nigerian court deadlines were fast approaching, the Court set an expedited briefing schedule on President Tinubu\u2019s objections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parties have now completed that briefing, and the Court has reviewed their submissions. For the reasons stated in this Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Court overrules President Tinubu\u2019s objections and adopts Judge Gilbert\u2019s recommended decision in full.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court therefore grants Mr. Abubakar\u2019s application under 28 U.S.C. \u00a7 1782.<\/p>\n

\u201cCSU is directed to respond to Mr. Abubakar\u2019s subpoena in the time and manner provided for below\u201d.<\/p>\n

The issues raised by Tinubu in objecting to the release of his academic records include claims of privacy and that Atiku was on a fishing expedition as he can no longer use the documents to prosecute his appeal at the Supreme Court, since his case was not considered by the presidential tribunal.<\/p>\n

However, Justice Maldonado stated that Judge Gilbert did not give a final judgment in the application dated August 2, but rather gave a \u201creport and recommendation\u201d subject to de novo review for any objected-to<\/p>\n

portions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, as will be seen below, even under de novo review, the Court ultimately reaches the same conclusion as Judge Gilbert and finds that the application should be granted. And further, as noted above, the Court only reviews de novo those portions of Judge Gilbert\u2019s opinion to which a party has objected.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the portions to which no party has objected, the opinion is reviewed only for clear error,\u201d the judge noted.<\/p>\n

On Tinubu\u2019s submission that the documents cannot be presented to the apex court to prove Atiku\u2019s case, the court held that Tinubu failed to provide \u201cany testimony or evidence indicating that the Court of Appeal decision somehow prevents the Supreme Court of Nigeria, in its discretion, from considering new arguments and evidence under exceptional circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, President Tinubu expressly conceded that was the case before Judge Gilbert, and he still does not dispute that this procedural mechanism for presenting evidence to the Supreme Court of Nigeria under \u201cexceptional circumstances\u201d exists. President Tinubu\u2019s suggestion then that the evidence \u201ccannot be considered under any circumstances\u201d is thus unsupported by the record.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Court cannot and will not speculate as to Nigerian law and procedure. What the Court has before it is a sworn affidavit, which President Tinubu did not contest before Judge Gilbert, that the Supreme Court of Nigeria can consider new evidence under exceptional circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, it is undisputed that there is a mechanism by which Mr. Abubakar could potentially inject the requested discovery into the foreign proceedings. Whether the Supreme Court of Nigeria will ultimately allow Mr. Abubakar to use the documents, or whether it will consider them in its decision, are not questions for the Court to resolve,\u201d the judge added.<\/p>\n

Having held that the discovery is thus undoubtably of significant importance, as are the issues at stake, the court held that CSU has sole access to the discovery\u2014there is no other way for Mr. Abubakar to access the sought-after information about President Tinubu\u2019s diploma and education.<\/p>\n

The judge further held, \u201cThese Rule 26 considerations therefore support granting the request for discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Court will not obstruct the flow of discovery solely within the possession of a U.S. institution on a matter of such importance when the respondent stands ready and willing to provide it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the Court concludes that Mr. Abubakar\u2019s interest in the discovery outweighs President Tinubu\u2019s privacy interests, and because the Court need not concern itself with any burden to CSU in making the production, the Court finds the final discretionary factor weighs in favor of granting the application.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith three factors weighing in favor, and one neutral, the Court finds on balance the discretionary factors support granting Mr. Abubakar\u2019s application. President Tinubu did not specifically object to Judge Gilbert\u2019s rulings with respect to the scope of the discovery requests, other than to generally state they are too broad.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut even if he had, the Court independently finds the requests are appropriately tailored to seek relevant information. Mr. Abubakar did not object to the portion of Judge Gilbert\u2019s ruling limiting the scope of his request for production four mentioned above, and at any rate, the Court agrees that asking CSU to conduct electronic discovery is neither justified nor feasible at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court therefore adopts Judge Gilbert\u2019s ruling on the scope of the discovery requests. CSU must respond to Requests for Production Nos. 1 through 4, though CSU need not respond to the portion of Request No. 4 that seeks \u201call communications to or from CSU concerning the certification of such documents by Jamar C. Orr, Esq., during the period of August 1, 2022 to August 1, 2023.\u201d (Dkt. 40 at 28.) As for the deposition, CSU must produce a witness that can address all five topics identified in the subpoena.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the foregoing reasons, the Court overrules President Tinubu\u2019s objections to Magistrate Judge Gilbert\u2019s recommended ruling, and therefore adopts the ruling in full. Mr. Abubakar\u2019s Application is therefore granted. In light of the pending Supreme Court of Nigeria deadline, represented to the Court as October 5, 2023, and based on CSU\u2019s representations that it is ready to comply with the discovery requests and produce a witness, the Court sets an expedited schedule for completion of discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cRespondent CSU is directed to produce all relevant and non-privileged documents in response to Requests for Production Nos. 1 through 4 (as narrowed by Judge Gilbert and adopted here) in Mr. Abubakar\u2019s subpoena, by 12:00 p.m. (noon) CDT, on Monday, October 2, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of CSU\u2019s corporate designee must be completed by 5:00 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, October 3, 2023. Given the October 5, 2023, filing deadline before the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Court will not extend or modify these deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n
