Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi on Wednesday said the foreigners now perceive Nigerians as fraudsters and certificate forgers due to the controversy trailing President Bola Tinubu’s certificate from the Chicago State University.
Obi, who addressed a press conference in Abuja which was monitored by QUEST TIMES challenged Tinubu to come out and reveal his true identity to the world.
While refusing to address Tinubu as president but ‘chief’, Obi said Nigerians cannot continue to have a president whose identity is shrouded in secrecy.
He said, “To the outsiders, the entire Chicago matter as well as Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s many lingering identity question marks has further worsened Nigeria’s less than glorious image internationally”.
“Uninformed outsiders now see every Nigerian as a fraudster, certificate forger or identity thief. The controversy is unnecessary just as the global embarrassment could have been avoided”.
