'You didn’t submit your UNN certificate to INEC' - Omokri fires Peter Obi

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has blasted Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) for questioning the legitimacy of the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.

Reacting to the university certificate brouhaha surrounding Tinubu, Mr Obi stated that people should be truthful about their qualifications.

According to Mr Obi, educational qualification is not even a criterion to be a good President.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was successful in a legal battle to probe the academic qualification of Tinubu in the February 25 presidential poll.

A US court on Saturday ordered Chicago State University (the university Tinubu was said to have attended) to release Tinubu’s academic records for verification.

On Monday, October 2, the records were made available to the PDP leader, although the authenticity is still being questioned by some sections of social media users.

Reno is calling out Peter Obi 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?”
