The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that President Bola Tinubu needs no reintroduction after ex-Anambra Governor Peter Obi asked the President to reintroduce himself to Nigerians because of the controversy over his identity and academic records.
Specifically, Obi urged Tinubu to “let the world know his name, nationality, place of birth, parentage, the primary and secondary schools he attended with dates as well as the actual universities he attended and certificates obtained.”
He said that was the only way to lay to rest the doubts and speculations about Tinubu’s true identity.
In a swift reaction to Obi’s message, APC national publicity secretary Felix Morka said the former governor was seeking “cheap media attention.”
“Unwilling to miss out in the orchestrated campaign of calumny against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his certificate from the Chicago State University, Obi jumped on the tailboard of Atiku’s bandwagon to satisfy his uncanny and insatiable thirst for cheap media attention, long after his Labour Party had dissociated itself from a bogus call to action by the former Vice-President,” his statement read.
Affirming Tinubu’s victory in the February 25, 2023 presidential election, Morka said Nigerians who voted him into power knew him well enough to be deserving of their votes.
In his words, “Mr Obi must know that President Tinubu does not need a reintroduction. He does not have any identity problem, except the one contrived by the Atikus and Peters of our political firmament.
“The 8.9 million Nigerians who voted him into office were, and remain, aware of his outstanding record and accomplishments as a defender of democracy, freedom, social and economic justice for over three decades.”
