Tell us your true identity, Obi urges Tinubu
The Labour Party Presidential flag bearer in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to unmask his true identity to Nigerians amid controversy generated by the Chicago State University degree certificate.
Obi said, “Only President Tinubu can put to rest the controversy surrounding his identity.”
The former Anambra Governor said this during a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja.
The CSU released Tinubu’s academic record to the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar after weeks of legal tussle.
The former vice president on Friday filed the CSU documents as fresh evidence at the Supreme Court.
Atiku and Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, had filed 86 grounds of appeal at the Supreme Court to nullify the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal’s judgment that affirmed Tinubu’s victory.
Speaking on Wednesday, Obi said the saga had further “dented the image of Nigerians globally.”
Obi said “Nigerians deserved to know the true identity of their president.”
He added: “The president should come clear on his name, age, where he schooled, who he went to school with and others.
“Respectfully, I am pleading that this issue be attended to now,” he said.
