BBC Africa is massively reported to the UK parliament by Nigerians accusing them of peddling fake news about the Chicago expose. The inbox of the Member of Parliament in question was reported to be full. Nigerians will not allow the 2023 heist to go unchallenged.
Today, Tinubu is leading a regional war against Northern Nigeria and its economy. The same north that helped rigged him into power. That's the payback.
Not a single APC governor in the north can deliver his state for Bola Tinubu. With BVAS technology they are useless and irrelevant. People like Nasir Elrufai and Ganduje have been deluding themselves, the people have rejected them and their candidate.

No American graduate will forge his certificate and use it to run for the Office of the President. No American law will allow indiscriminate reproduction of certificates, however ceremonial they might be, for presentation in serious legal matters. No American

The is the best tweet I come across since this Obidient movement began. I am from Zaria and I can confirm that Datti cannot win his polling unit in Tudun Wada Zaria. I will share the result here in February.
Former President Buhari looked away while INEC was rigging the 2023 elections for his friend Alhaji Tinubu. Today, he is the new punching bag by Alhaji Tinubu's newfound friends. That he left them a comatose economy. This is laughable. They are complaining about the same economy

The case is clear: the certificate Bola Tinubu submitted to INEC under oath is a fake. That disqualifies him constitutionally. Those pictures cannot replace the evidence submitted to the Tribunal. Atiku's case in Chicago District Court will add more flesh to this. Stop misleading
The Buharists within the APC are beginning to sing a familiar song. First, it was about biting poverty and hunger in the country. They thought Tinubu would make life easier for the socialist masses by sharing money. Surprisingly, they saw a crony capitalist on steroid. Second, it
@fkeyamo
We can read and write English better than you. The Final Written Addreses are in plain English language, any smart reader can deduce its meaning. The only language we don't understand in law is that of technicality, a willful subversion of truth and facts of a case after bribery.
Appointments spree will not grow the economy or reduce poverty. It is a strategy of buying legitimacy from the elites. The poor will suffer for this because the largesse can only trickle down to a fraction of them. The biggest majority who are celebrating them online and offline
Most northern elites are following Tinubu for the hope of getting political appointments. They know he is not mentally and physically fit to run that office but they don't care as long a juicy office and money are involved. /1
@UmarSanithecat
Mr Tsammani has no option in this case than to disqualify Tinubu and penalise INEC. They have all the evidence in the world to do so. The only reason they will fail is alleged bribery and corruption in the judiciary.
Deposition (Q&A under oath) is currently ongoing in Chicago. 2 CSU senior staff are answering questions on agreed topics. These include issues related to admissions, graduation, replacement certification, authorisation of certificate issuance, relevant dates, signatures,

The PhD process I went through taught me to be self critical and also accept criticisms as normal. A person's idea cannot be 100 per cent accurate. It amazes me anytime I see PhD holders with intolerable behaviors. That tells a lot about the quality of training that they had.
The north is busy scrambling for political appointments under Tinubu while he's working to bring war to our backyard. Without peace with our friendly neighbours, the appointments will soon leave a sour taste for them. War is a terrible thing to happen to our overstretched army.
Emilokan thought that rigging himself into power is the end game. The game is just beginning. He is a reflection of everything that is wrong with our national institutions. How such a man has found his way into the highest office will be studied by historians.
They say that Atiku Abubakar is chasing shadows in Chicago. Meanwhile, a totally "innocent" person who is supposed to be busy with his administration is hiring lawyers and spending millions to block sunshine from producing the shadows. This is the warped logic they want you to

They always say that no past president was ever disqualified by the courts. Very true. But they won't tell you that no past president has ever won an election without a WAEC certificate. None has ever submitted a forged degree certificate to INEC in violation of the constitution.
@fatimaasada
@jamo_kadeeja
Arewa men have the same mentality as Arewa fathers. So be careful about what you pray for. Our mothers are on this table you are shaking.
In Emilokan's mind, every discussion is tribal and partisan. Every criticism is offensive. Every demand for justice is to be defended with paid local and international lawyers. Every mention of a certificate discovery immediately triggers panic and paranoia. And every citizen
The Emilokans are dead quiet. They know what is coming. The DSS cannot help him in Chicago. The EFCC cannot help him in Chicago. The NBA cannot help him in Chicago. Corrupt SANs cannot help him in Chicago. Corrupt judges cannot help him in Chicago. Hired protesters and online
Things are not looking good in Nigeria today. While you are complaining online and offline, make sure you are working on your personal growth and development. Learn a new skill. Form a network of like minds and brainstorm groundbreaking ideas. Register a company. Travel abroad.

very vital questions about his eligibility requirements to occupy the office of the president of Nigeria.
In my opinion, the Nigerian Supreme Court has no power to declare Mr Tinubu's certificate as forged or genuine. Only CSU has the powers do so, and they deauthenticate the document submitted to INEC by saying that they didn't authorise it and that the signatures, dates, fonts, and
@farooqkperogi
The issue of Tinubu's certificate forgery is before a competent court in Nigeria to decide. Atiku is also before a court in Chicago asking for a complete disclosure of Tinubu's academic records, including transcripts and variants of certificates purportedly issued by Chicago
If Nigeria truly has a constitution, Bola Tinubu will be disqualified. We all saw the evidence against him for forgery, forfeiture, INEC's violation of the Electoral Act, and Shettima's double nomination. The judges cannot pretend not to see the truth!

Atiku Abubakar is the most experienced and prepared. Look at the economic indicators from 1999 and 2007 when he was VP. Most of the best hands that brought success to the Obasanjo administration were hired by him. He led the National Economic Council. Read his plan for Nigeria.
You cannot support APC and complain about poverty and hunger. The two cannot logically work together. Leadership under the APC cannot solve a single problem Nigeria is facing, and we will be here to talk about it.
Basically, the Atiku vs. Tinubu case before the District Court in Chicago is about 4 certificates.
1. The original one issued to a Bola Tinubu in 1979. Nobody has seen a copy of this.
2. A certified true copy issued to a Nigerian lawyer under a subpeona. A copy is in the public

NORTHERN INTELLECTUALISM: THE NARRATIVE IS FAULTY
The north is blessed with highly educated and intelligent people. Many of us have PhDs from top-ranking universities in the world. We published in top peer reviewed journals that academics and professionals around the world read
In his response to the court, Tinubu implicated Chicago State University for the mistakes in the documents they issued in response to a subpeona. That the dates, logo, font, and signatories on the newly issued certificate had errors on them. This should strengthen Atiku's case

In his Press Conference today, Peter Obi asked Tinubu to reintroduce himself to the Nigerian people. Nobody seems to know anything about him with definite clarity. Apart from being a former governor of Lagos and his participation in NADECO, everything about him is a debatable
Today is exactly 2 days until the expiration of the deadline given to Emilokan by a court in Chicago. The court asked him to provide reasons why his academic records should not be given to Atiku Abubakar. Atiku approached the court to issue a subpeona to Chicago State University
I will never call Tinubu a president. The man is an epitome of everything that is wrong with our national consciousness. Giving him any iota of respect is disrespectful to the Office of the President of Nigeria. An office that is supposed to be a symbol of hope, national

I don't have a problem with rotational presidency as long as the president emerged through equal participation. If rotation is aimed at stopping others from running because their tribesman is in power then it must be backed by law. Anything else is a waste of time.

They are newbies in this game but they will learn the hard way. Same way Peter is being sold as the best thing after sliced bread from the SE. I laugh at them.
APC is not contesting to solve a single of your problems. They have no clue how to do it and they don't care. The last 8 years is a pointer to this fact. Be careful.

Chicago court update:
The APC lawyer, Mr Oluwole, who is representing Emilokan in the case before the Chicago Court, has filed that the court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate in the matter. And so, the case should be thrown out. The usual Nigerian style of corrupting a case. But
Emilokans will argue with you blindly. Just dig slightly deeper, and you will find that many of them are ignorant of the case against them. They haven't read the petitions. They haven't seen the evidence. They haven't heard the witnesses' testimony under oath. They haven't read
The evidence is very clear that Tinubu forged his own degree and NYSC certificates. Lied under oath and connived with INEC to rig him into power. But Nigerians are convinced that the corrupt judges will keep him using technicality. This is how we plan to build a developed nation.
Paid charlatans are shamelessly spinning factual court statements into lies just to get away with crime. The certified true copies of the transcript will be made public today. Every interested citizen can own a copy to read for themselves. A crime is committed, and the law must

I don't care about who gets which portfolio in the Tinubu cabinet. What is more important is to tell the whole world that Tinubu is not qualified by Nigerian law to run for that office. INEC knows but connived to rig him into office. This is the democracy Nigeria is practising.

There is no institution that Emilokan cannot corrupt and compromise. Absolutely nothing. As long as the actors have a price tag, he can pay for it.

An electoral body must not be defending an election outcome as if it is the beneficiary. What it should do is to perfect the process and let the outcome be determined therefrom. If there is litigation, it should remain neutral and consider it a learning curve for the next cycle.
How did we even end up with Tinubu as a president despite all the baggage of local and international crimes he is carrying? Our laws, institutions, and leadership systems are clearly compromised. This is a deliberate effort to sabotage our country for selfish gains. Historians

What happened at the Tribunal today is not law and justice. Turning the courts into a place of getting fraudulent rulings will haunt everyone, including those who are celebrating today. Paul Biyanization is in the making. Tinubu will not leave power!
Rubber stamp Senate. Rubber stamp Reps. Rubber stamp judiciary. Rubber stamp security agencies. A rogue executive. We have gone full circle, and the repercussions will hit everyone.
You still have 20 days to campaign for your candidate. Nigerians will vote for a new president based on alignment with their interests. Don't come here to give reasons why you think the success of your candidate is stolen or sabotaged because he didn't win. Do the homework now.
INEC couldn't show how Tinubu won the election. They submitted zero primary evidence. INEC deleted all the information on the BVAS against a court order. They certified over 18,000 polling unit results that are unreadable,
Mr Olanipekun is rewriting the Nigerian constitution to keep a fraudulent president in office. So, a person can voluntarily acquire a foreign citizenship and become a Nigerian president? Wow!
Legitimacy crisis is stubbornly persistent in leadership.
