Peter Obi Addresses Nigerians On Tinubu’s Certificate Controversy

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, on Wednesday, addressed a World Press Conference regarding the controversy surrounding the certificate of President Bola Tinubu.

Naija News reports that the press conference was held at the Shehu Musa Yar’adua Auditorium Wuse 2, Abuja.

During the press conference, Obi spoke on the alleged forged Diploma Certificate of the Chicago State University (CSU) submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by President Tinubu.

The former Governor of Anambra said Nigerians are now seen all over the world as fraudsters, certificate forgers and identity thieves because of what Tinubu has allegedly done.

Obi also called on the President to tell the nation his true name, the school he attended, where he served and the certificate he obtained from CSU and saved himself and Nigeria from embarrassment.

The former Governor of Anambra advised President Tinubu to provide Nigerians and the entire world with the necessary information about him once and now.

He said: “Mr Tinubu should tell the nation his true name, the school he attended, where he served and the certificate he obtained. He must do this task once and now. It is a matter of morality, honour, and integrity. Tinubu needs to come clean.

“The world now sees Nigerians as fraudsters, certificate forgers and identity thieves because of what Bola Ahmed Tinubu did at Chicago State University.”

Naija News reports that Atiku is challenging the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 election and the affirmation of Tinubu’s victory by the election petition tribunal on September 6.

He sorted the credentials over the suspicion that the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC may not be authentic and his academic records are fraught with discrepancies and forgeries.

Following the release of the certificate, Atiku called on Obi, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and other Nigerians to join his quest for “justice” in controversy around President Tinubu’s certificate.

Atiku’s request for the US court for the Northern District of Illinois to compel CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records has since been granted, and the records are now in the public domain.

Atiku had said he would use the academic records unveiled by CSU in his litigation against Tinubu at the Supreme Court.
