Peter Obi of the Labour Party says the lingering controversy over President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate forgery portrays Nigerians in a bad light in the international communities. He urged Mr Tinubu to “reintroduce” himself to Nigerians by revealing his “real name.”
“Uninformed outsiders now see Nigerians as fraudsters, certificate forgers or identity thieves. The controversy is unnecessary just as the implicit global embarrassment could be avoided, Mr Obi said. “In my opinion, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have saved the nation and himself this.”
In a press conference on Wednesday, Mr Obi charged President Bola Tinubu to come out clean on the lingering certificate scandal, telling Nigerians the truth about his identity and certificates.
“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,” Mr Obi said.
