The National Publicity Secretary of the Lamidi Apapa-led faction of the Labour Party (LP), Abayomi Arabambi, has alleged inconsistencies in Peter Obi’s academic credentials.
Arabambi made these claims during an interview on AIT, responding to Obi’s recent press conference regarding the controversy surrounding Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate.
Arabambi who said he was part of the team that conducted Obi’s screening before the presidential primary of the party, pointed out a discrepancy in the names on Obi’s academic certificates.
“I was part of the people who did screening for him. In the form EC9, we gave him, he wrote that he attended the University of Nigeria Nsukka and he wrote that he finished his youth service but unfortunately, in the final submission of the form he only submitted his school certificate.
“So something is fishy and I want to say the name the school sent for mobilization was not what was written on his NYSC certificate and he knows that,” Arabambi said.
Arabambi added that the authenticity of Obi’s identity within the Labour Party was under question.
“This destination that he is going, I don’t know what he wants to achieve. We have before the Supreme Court his own petition and the pleadings are not there, you are now calling out someone to come and reveal his true identity.
“For us, we don’t know the true identity of Peter Obi even in the Labour Party because everything was shrouded in secrecy at that time between him and Abure in Asaba,”the factional party leader said.
