The Labour Party (LP) candidate in the February 25 presidential election has told President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to tell Nigerians who he really is and to resign from office immediately.
Peter Obi made the “plea” during a press conference held on Wednesday, October 11, 2903, at the Odi/Datti Presidential Campaign Headquarters in Abuja.
Obi said he was compelled to make the call following the embarrassing revelation from Chicago State University where his identity, academic credentials and integrity were questioned.

The press conference was held at the Shehu Musa Yar’adua Auditorium Wuse 2, Abuja.
During the press conference, Obi spoke on the alleged forged Diploma Certificate of the Chicago State University (CSU) submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by President Tinubu.
He demanded that President Bola Tinubu comes clean on his true identity.
The former Anambra State governor urged Tinubu to reintroduce himself to the nation he governs, and to the world for avoidance of further doubt.
According to Obi, it’s only Tinubu himself through a direct personal statement that could clear every speculations about his true identity.
Obi said, “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.”
