Tinubu’s Certificate Saga: 'Why didn’t you tender your own degree?' - Reno Omokri taunts Peter Obi

Reno Omokri Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide has thrown shade at Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election.

In a post shared on his X page (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday morning, October 3rd, Omokri queried Obi for not releasing his university certificate from the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN).

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made this assertion after Chicago State University produced three out of the four sets of documents requested by Atiku Abubakar, the party's flagbearer.

Condemning Obi's recent interview, Omokri tweeted: "Peter Obi, Chicago State University, has backed Bola Tinubu's certificate and stands by the legitimacy of his academic credentials. 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?"

Nigerians took to the comment section of Omokri's X page and reacted to the development.
