Academic Records: Peter Obi Challenges Tinubu To Unveil His True Identity

Peter Obi has challenged President Tinubu to unveil his true identity over the controversy surrounding his academic records.

Glamtush reports that the Labour Party’s Presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to tell Nigerians his true name and everything related to his educational career.

The former governor of Anambra State said this on Wednesday in a press conference in Abuja and asked Tinubu to provide clear details about the schools he attended, whether he participated in the National Youth Service Corps, and if he changed his name at any point.

Obi added that Tinubu needs to introduce himself to Nigerians and the world so as to further avoid doubts and international embarrassment.

“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,” Obi said.

The call comes after a United States of America court ordered Chicago State University to release Tinubu’s academic records at the request of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku had previously sought the release of Tinubu’s certificate, suspecting that the one submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission may not be authentic.

According to Obi, the controversy surrounding Tinubu’s identity has worsened Nigeria’s image internationally, portraying every Nigerian as a fraudster, certificate forger, or identity thief.
