Reno Omokri, a leading member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described Atiku Abubakar's attempt to unseat President Bola Tinubu using his academic records as "déjà vu".

According to Omokiri, the search by the presidential candidate of the party to the United States is a repeat of the certificate scenario of the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari concerning his West African Examination Council (WAEC) results.

Atiku, a former Vice President had traveled to the United States magistrate court to compel the Chicago State University to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu to him to back up his allegations that Tinubu forged a diploma certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

On Thursday, October 5, the former vice president addressed a press conference and alleged that the certificate President Tinubu claimed to hold belonged to a Black American woman.

In his reaction, the former presidential aide urged Atiku Abubakar, his supporters and their counterparts in the Labour Party and Peter Obi to be logical rather than emotional in their approach to the identity theft allegation.

Excerpts of his tweet read: "This is just déjà vu all over again. Is it that we never learn? The same thing happened with General Buhari. His certificates were lost while he was in detention. He presented a replacement GCE certificate that was full of errors. Yet, no court removed him."
