Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party during the 2023 general elections, addressed a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
During the conference, Obi called on President Bola Tinubu to clarify the controversy surrounding his identity and academic records at the Chicago State University. He expressed distress over the prolonged identity crisis that played out in the American Court System and the controversy surrounding the authenticity of Tinubu’s credentials.
Obi stated that this situation has triggered a media frenzy and has led to embarrassing questions about Nigeria’s overall credibility as a nation. He urged Tinubu to reintroduce himself to the nation and the world to avoid further doubt. He suggested that Tinubu should clearly state his name, nationality, place of birth, parentage, educational background, and any changes of name
