Judge Nancy Maldonado of a United States court has agreed to delay an order instructing Chicago State University to provide President Bola Tinubu’s academic documents to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s legal team.
Tinubu’s legal team requested a review of the order, which was approved by a US district judge.
The hearing occurred late Thursday night when the president’s lawyers submitted an emergency motion to postpone the enforcement of the self-effectuating order that required CSU to comply with Atiku’s subpoenas until Monday.
The President’s legal team clarified that their request was for a review and not an appeal.

Maldonado committed to ruling on the matter as expeditiously as possible.
She said:
“I will have a busy weekend. The issue is about processes and rules. I am a stickler for rules; that’s why I am a judge. This case is quite intricate. I understand the significance. Getting it right is more crucial to me than anything else.”
