Breaking: Tinubu Must Reveal His True Identity – Peter Obi

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has asked President Bola Tinubu to address Nigerians on his true identity and and everything related to his educational career.

Obi’s call comes amid the brewing controversy over Tinubu’s alleged certificate and questions raised about his true identity, after it emerged from documents released by Chicago State Univeristy that the president may have gained admission using the papers of a yet to be identified woman

In a press conference in Abuja, Obi urged Tinubu, who had maintained an undemocratic silence since CSU released his records, 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.

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

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

“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,” the former Anambra governor said.

“In my opinion, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have saved the nation and himself this protracted embarrassment and undue anxiety. Chief Ahmed Bola Tinubu still holds the nation on the world obligation only he can discharge.

“I therefore respectfully and humbly call on him to immediately perform a simple task once and for all. He should introduce himself to the nation he governs and to the world for the avoidance of further doubt.

“He should let the world know his name, nationality, place of birth, parentage, primary and secondary schools attended with dates, as well as the actual universities attended and certificates obtained. He should indicate clearly where and when he did his National Youth Service (NYSC).

“In addition, if at any time, he had a change of name, he should state so clearly,” Obi added.
