Obi discussed the alleged forged Diploma Certificate from Chicago State University (CSU) that President Tinubu purportedly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He called for President Tinubu to provide clarity on his true identity. The former governor of Anambra State urged Tinubu to reintroduce himself to the nation and the world, in order to dispel any further doubts.

According to Obi, only President Tinubu himself, through a direct and personal statement, can address the speculations about his identity.

Obi stated, “He should introduce himself to the nation he governs, and to the world for avoidance of further doubt. He should let the world know his name, his nationality, his place of birth, his current age, the primary and secondary schools he attended with dates, as well as the actual universities he attended and certificates he obtained. He should indicate clearly when and where he did his national youth service. In addition, if he had a change of name, he should state so clearly the time and circumstances.”

“This is a simple task that will only take a few minutes. It requires no affidavit, prolonged talk process, spokespersons, agents, or surrogates. The task is only Chief Bola Tinubu himself, through a direct personal statement, can perform. He must perform this task urgently. He has to lay to rest many lingering doubts and speculations about his true identity.”
