Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February election, Mr. Peter Obi may have heeded the call from Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as legal battle continues towards wrestling power from President Bola Tinubu.
This is as Obi, in a press conference at his instance on Wednesday, challenged the president to disclose his true name, the schools he attended, where he served and the certificates he obtained.
Atiku, the candidate of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had in a press conference last week appealed to Obi of the LP and Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to join hands with him in battle to situate President Tinubu’s credentials.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi said Tinubu owe Nigerians a task of unveiling his identity once and now.
“Mr Tinubu should tell the nation his true name, the school he attended, where he served, and the certificate he obtained. He must do this task once and now,” Obi challenged.
Obi, who came third position in the presidential poll opined that Tinubu should have saved the nation and himself what he described as protracted embarrassment and undue anxiety.
“I therefore respectfully and humbly call on him to immediately perform a simple task once and for all. He should introduce himself to the nation he governs and to the world for the avoidance of further doubt,” he stated.
He went further to demand from the president the full disclosure to Nigerians and the world of his name, nationality, place of birth, parentage, primary and secondary schools attended with dates, as well as the actual universities attended and certificates obtained.
“He should indicate clearly where and when he did his National Youth Service (NYSC). In addition, if at any time, he had a change of name, he should state so clearly,” the former LP presidential flag-bearer said.
