The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the last presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has replied President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that he

cannot use the excuse of privacy law to stop the release of his academic records from the Chicago State University .

It will be recalled that the court had on September 19, held that Atiku’s application for discovery outweighs Tinubu’s plea for protection under the privacy law. Dissatisfied, Tinubu last Thursday begged a Federal High Court presided by Judge Nancy Maldonado to delay the enforcement of the order till Monday, September 25, when he would formally file his objection.

But Atiku, in his latest move, argued that the law of privacy pleaded by Tinubu to stop the release of his academic records was not relevant and tenable in this instance. Moreso, Atiku argued that Tinubu cannot plead protection when he “has placed its educational records at issue, ECF 40 at 25-26 or to order the production of any document, exhibit or other thing connected with the proceedings in accordance with the provisions of Section 33 of the Act, shall apply for leave on notice of motion prior to the date set down for the hearing of the appeal.
