The dispute surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s Diploma Certificate has put the nation’s credibility in jeopardy, according to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential contender for 2023.
According to THE MATRIX, Tinubu was accused by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 2023 presidential contender, of fabricating the Chicago State University (CSU) certificate that was turned in to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking on Wednesday at the World Press Conference in Abuja, Obi claimed that because of what Tinubu is believed to have done, Nigerians are now viewed globally as fraudsters, certificate forgers, and identity thieves.
Additionally, Obi urged the President to reveal to the country his real name, the name of the school he went to, his place of service, and the degree he earned from CSU.
The formerly Anambra governor counseled President Tinubu to furnish Nigerians and the global community with the requisite details on him immediately.
“Mr. Tinubu should disclose to the country his real name, the school he attended, the location of his service, and the certificate he earned,” he said. This is something he has to do right now. It has to do with ethics, integrity, and honor. Tinubu must be truthful.
“The world now sees every Nigerian as a fraudster, certificate forger and identity thief because of what Bola Ahmed Tinubu did at Chicago State University.
“Even though all you need to run for president are primary and secondary school attendance, I personally attached my University degree certificates, plus my NYSC. You can go and verify.
“I attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Soludo, Emefiele, the present Vice Chancellor and the two DVCs were all my schoolmates. You can go and verify.
“Bola Tinubu should reintroduce himself to the nation he governs, and tell the nation who he is, where he is from, where he went to school, and his real name. It’s a simple task that will take only a few minutes. And he must perform this task immediately.”
