Lamidi Apapa’s Labour Party Alleges Discrepancies In Obi’s Certificates
The National Publicity Secretary of the Lamidi Apapa-led faction of the Labour Party (LP), Abayomi Arabambi, has alleged a discrepancy in the credentials of the presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi.
During an interview with AIT, Arabambi while reacting to Obi’s press conference on the controversy over Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate, said he was among the people who screened Obi before the party’s presidential primary.
According to the LP’s spokesperson, the name on Obi’s academic certificate from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was not the same as on his National Youth Service Corps certificate.
He noted that the true identity of Peter Obi was shrouded in secrecy during the electioneering period.
He said, “I was part of the people who did the screening for him. In the form EC9 we gave him, he wrote that he attended the University of Nigeria Nsukka and that he finished his youth service but unfortunately, in the final submission of the form, he only submitted his school certificate.
“So something is fishy, and I want to say the name the school sent for mobilization was not what was written on his NYSC certificate, and he knows that.
“For us, we don’t know the true identity of Peter Obi even in the Labour Party because everything was shrouded in secrecy at that time between him and Abure in Asaba.
“You know we were rushing because we had just a day to do our presidential primary, and that was why he was able to get away with it, but we have it on record that Obi’s name on his NYSC certificate and the one on his University of Nigeria, Nsukka certificate are different.”
