The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has charged President Bola Tinubu to re-introduce himself to Nigerians on his true identity in order to douse the rising tension surrounding his controversial certificate.
Peter Obi in a world press conference in Abuja on Wednesday said Tinubu should read his CV to Nigerians by way of self-introduction, stating his age, his place of birth, schools attended and others.
According to Obi, Tinubu’s identity question has continued to rob off on Nigerians both home and abroad. He stressed that the image and identity of the president was important as it directly affects the image of the country.
He charged Tinubu to make further clarifications on his identity in order to end the lingering controversy.
Obi said it will be completely out of place to use surrogates, aides or other third parties to clear this issue.
Obi said, “He should introduce himself to the nation he governs, and to the world for avoidance of further doubt.
“He should let the world know his name, his nationality, his place of birth, his current age, the primary and secondary schools he attended with dates, as well as the actual universities he attended and certificates he obtained.
“He should indicate clearly when and where he did his National Youth Service. In addition, if he had a change of name, he should state so clearly the time and circumstances.
“This is a simple task that will only take a few minutes. It requires no affidavit, prolonged talk process, spokespersons, agents or surrogates.
“The task is only Chief Bola Tinubu himself through a direct personal statement can perform. He must perform this task urgently. He has to lay to rest many lingering doubts and speculations about his true identity.”
