The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, has claimed that the certificate sage of President Bola Tinubu has further worsened Nigeria’s less-than-glorious image internationally.
Obi spoke on Wednesday during a press conference in Abuja.
He stated that Tinubu’s certificate issue has affected the average Nigerian within and outside the country.
According to him, uninformed outsiders now see every Nigerian as a fraudster, certificate forger, and identity thief.
“To the outsiders, the entire Chicago University matter, as well as Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s many other lingering identity question marks have further worsened Nigeria’s less-than-glorious image internationally,” Obi said.
“Uninformed outsiders now see every Nigerian as a fraudster, certificate forger, and identity thief. The controversy is unnecessary, and the implicit global embarrassment could have been avoided.”
DAILY POST reports that this is coming after the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had secured the release of Tinubu’s education records from the Chicago State University, CSU, through a court subpoena against the disclosure by the President.
The released records, which came first earlier this month, showed that Tinubu’s 1979 CSU certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was different from samples of the certificates the university issued to students that same year.
