The prestige of the nation is at risk, according to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for the 2023 election, as a result of the dispute surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s diploma certificate.
According to GISTLOVER Tinubu was charged with fabricating a certificate from Chicago State University (CSU) that was submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in 2023.
Speaking on Wednesday at the globe Press Conference in Abuja, Obi claimed that because of what Tinubu is supposed to have done, Nigerians are now viewed throughout the globe as fraudsters, certificate forgers, and identity thieves.
Obi also urged the President to reveal his real name, the institution he attended, the location of his service, and the certificate he received from CSU.
The former governor of Anambra asked President Tinubu to immediately provide Nigerians and the rest of the world the information they need to know about him.
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 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.”
