Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has said Nigeria needs political office holders who have identity and authentic credentials.

Obi said this in the United States where there is an ongoing case on President Bola Tinubu’s academic record.

Recall that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who contested the presidential election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is digging for the academic and personal records of Tinubu, from Chicago State University (CSU).

A court ruled in favour of Atiku, ordering CSU to release Tinubu’s record, but the Nigerian president filed a suit against this.

Tinubu files fresh motion to stop Chicago varsity from releasing academic records

Speaking at the Chinua Achebe Symposium at Princeton University, US on Friday, Obi said Nigerians must start working towards a country driven by competence and commitment to fighting corruption.

He submitted that leaders in Africa’s biggest economy must be committed to the rule of law.

“We must have leadership that is committed to the rule of law… that has an identity and credentials that can be verified. We can start thinking of a new Nigeria with competence, and capacity that is committed to fighting corruption. Is it possible to fight corruption? The answer is yes!

“The trouble with Nigeria is self-inflicted. If Achebe was alive, he would have taken back the book. When he wrote it, there was no trouble. Now, there is real trouble in Nigeria.Rascality has become a measure of success in Nigeria. That must change.”

Obi is one of those who filed an appeal at the Supreme Court to challenge the tribunal’s ruling that upheld Tinubu’s victory.

Nigeria also needs a leader with a proven track record of good governance.

Peter Obi failed in this regard when it comes to good governance.

Peter Obi also failed in mentoring and raising outstanding managers which in itself is leadership failure.

our identity is true and genuine unlike that of Tinubu

obi was a success with an identity

Only agbado corn-brains, blinded by tribalism, will argue this. 👋

Lolsss..

VERIFIED CREDENTIALS.

Tinubu only raised ex-convicts and his fellow drug lords as leaders.

Obi's way is far superior

A man whose father was killed by his drug gang, tied a big stone to his neck and thrown into a river can still talk here.

This is because the man on seat today is a dubious, fraudulent and wholly corruption criminal. A man with incongruent identity.

I'll rather jump into the lagoon than to recognize Tinubu as my president

Nothing more to add.

My Brother, No Need For that, Jare .😄

Nobody Recognizes Druggie as President!😕😒

If you Gather little Children and Ask them 'Who is Nigeria's President?'.

You will be Greeted by Either SILENCE or Speaking in very LOW TONES!. 😟😌

Tinubu is lucky that he is the President of a backward country like Nigeria

Had it been more advanced countries that a President was trying to block the verification of his academic credentials, the entire citizenry would have risen up to ask why

But in Nigeria, you actually have people defending the President to hide his academic records

Agulu fraud, why did you hide your certificate from INEC?.. Achebe was accused of intellectual theft, no suprises Pand¤ra Obi is cut from the same cloth.

So Tinubu's father was killed by his Chicago drug gang?
No wonder he changed his name to hide his identity. And he doesn't want his academic records to be released because it will reveal he had a change of name, a previous name being tied to a serious crime.
No wonder he stole Donald Duke's childhood picture.

Even Reno Omokri who is a er of Tinubu its that Tinubu is a scam.

Not at all it was your lord and saviour, obi's father. You can google. It is all over the internet.

Even if it was Obi that won, nothing would've changed, all politicians are the same"

Obi isn't the president yet, so how did you know that everything would've been the same. Just chop the Agbado you worked for in peace.

Heineken don add money, no more one for the road

That’s supposed to be the norm but lovers of evil will not allow that, they prefer to look at things from their tribalist eyes no wonder Chuba said they are a liability to mankind

Gbajue master

Na wa.....Can we all rest?

“We must have leadership that is committed to the rule of law… that has an identity and credentials that can be verified. We can start thinking of a new Nigeria with competence, and capacity that is committed to fighting corruption. Is it possible to fight corruption? The answer is yes!

“The trouble with Nigeria is self-inflicted. If Achebe was alive, he would have taken back the book. When he wrote it, there was no trouble. Now, there is real trouble in Nigeria. Rascality has become a measure of success in Nigeria. That must change.”

Nothing to add Sir. Mr Tinubu is an internationally renowned hardened criminal. Shame on his empty coconut head.

When he speaks investors listen.
Some Agbadonic Spirits were saying that the only foreign investment that Obi brought to Anambra State is Hero beer🍺
But the reality is that the company has overtaken Nigerian Breweries as the most consumed beer in Nigeria today, they even renamed the beer as 'Trophy' in the South West because some consumers saw Hero as representing Biafra but na the same content.

Rascality has become a measure of success in Nigeria.

Say no more, sir.

The country is now anything goes—a banana republic. No thanks to Tinubu and his gangs.
