Publicize your credentials now or we suspend you – LP threatens Obi
The Labour Party has threatened to suspend the presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, if he fails to make public his credentials and to clarify issues around the certificates.
The former Anambra State governor, Obi himself had challenged President Bola Tinubu to save his image by addressing the scandal that surrounds his identify. Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party is convincing the Supreme Court to sack the president.
In a statement that the party released through National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, Peter Obi is asked to do the needful within 48 hours or the party will suspend him.
The publicity secretary said, “The Labour Party at this juncture wishes to demand an answer to the following: what is the name of this so-called elder brother of Peter Obi who read computer science?
“What year did this Peter Obi’s elder brother die? What was the name on the secondary school certificate and University of Nigeria Nsukka certificate? What is the nature of the business of his brother? Where is Peter Obi’s birth certificate? What was the name on Peter Obi’s birth certificate?
“Why is it that the name on his birth certificate is different from the name on his school certificate? Why is the name on his school certificate different from the one written on his UNN certificate? Which university mobilized Peter Obi for his mandatory one-year NYSC? Why is the name on his NYSC certificate different from the name on his University of Nigeria Nsukka certificate?”
The political party alleged that the ex Anambra State governor submitted only the West African Examination Council certificate in which he failed to make credit in mathematics and English Language.
Arabambi said, “The Labour Party furthermore demanded to know why Mr Obi only deemed it fit and necessary to only submit his WAEC certificate wherein he failed to obtain the least requirement of credit passes in both mathematics and English which are necessary requirements to gain admission into any University in Nigeria.”
Labour Party Publicity Secretary concluded, “Failure to do this within the next 48 hours will attract his suspension from the Labour Party,”
