Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has slammed Peter
Obi, the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in the last election, for
suggesting that President Bola Ahmed had submitted a fake certificate to the
Independent National Electoral Commission.
Peter Obi had, while reacting to the university certificate
issues surrounding Tinubu, said people should be honest about their qualifications,
insisting that educational qualification is not even a criterion to be a good
President. He cited some American leaders who lacked good educational
backgrounds.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Atiku Abubakar, obtained victory in his fierce legal battle to probe the
academic qualification of Tinubu in the February 25 presidential poll.
Tinubu had supplied certificates from the Chicago State
University, CSU, to INEC to secure eligibility to participate in the election.
A United States of America court on Saturday ordered CSU to
release Tinubu’s academic records for verification and in support of Atiku’s
petition challenging the result of the 2023 presidential poll.
Justice Nancy Maldonado, in a judgment, dismissed the
objection raised by Tinubu against Atiku’s request and expressly ordered that
the CSU must submit the academic records to Atiku.
And on Monday evening, the records were made available to
the PDP leader, although the authenticity is still being questioned by some
sections of social media users.
But Reno is calling out the Labour Party candidate for even
suggesting that there could have been a fake certificate somewhere.
“Peter Obi, Chicago State University, has backed Bola
Tinubu’s certificate and stands by the legitimacy of his academic credentials,”
he wrote on X.
“Only yesterday morning, you were on AriseTV accusing a
certain leader of having a ‘fake certificate.’
“Now, answer this question: Why did you not tender your own
degree from the University of Nigeria Nsukka to the INEC?”
