President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima have opened their case at the presidential election petition court.
At the resumed session on Tuesday, Wole Olanipekun, counsel to Tinubu and Shettima, tendered several documents in their defence, including the president’s academic documents from the Chicago State University.
The documents tendered are itemised below.
Items nine to 14 tendered were copies of different national newspapers.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP) and their candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, are challenging Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential poll.
They allege that Tinubu failed to disclose details of his academic qualifications in Form EC9.
The petitioners are also alleging that the president distorted his age and has conflicting academic and personal records.
Atiku said Tinubu failed to secure 25 percent of the vote cast in the federal capital territory (FCT) as constitutionally required.
