The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has called for President Bola Tinubu to openly clarify his background.
Obi made this request during a press conference held in Abuja on Wednesday.
The former governor of Anambra State urged Tinubu to reintroduce himself to the nation he leads and to the global community to dispel any remaining uncertainties.
According to Obi, only a direct, personal statement from Tinubu himself can dispel the speculations about his true identity. Obi stated, “He should present himself to the country he governs and to the world to eliminate any further doubts. He should disclose his name, nationality, place of birth, current age, the primary and secondary schools he attended with dates, as well as the specific universities he attended and the certificates he obtained. He should also clearly specify when and where he completed his national youth service. Additionally, if he ever changed his name, he should provide a clear account of the time and circumstances. This is a straightforward task that can be accomplished in just a few minutes. It does not require affidavits, lengthy processes, spokespersons, representatives, or proxies. Chief Bola Tinubu alone can fulfill this task through a direct personal statement. He must do so promptly to put an end to the lingering doubts and speculations regarding his true identity.”
