In a post shared on his X page (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday morning, October 3, Omokri queried Obi for not releasing his university certificate from the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN).

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made this assertion after Chicago State University produced three out of the four sets of documents requested by Atiku Abubakar, the party's flagbearer.

Condemning Obi's recent interview, Omokri tweeted:

"Peter Obi, Chicago State University, has backed Bola Tinubu's certificate and stands by the legitimacy of his academic credentials. Only yesterday morning, you were on AriseTV accusing a certain leader of having a "fake certificate." Now, answer this question: Why did you not tender your own degree from the University of Nigeria Nsukka to the INEC?

How Tinubu handled fuel subsidy removal wrongly

Earlier, Peter Obi described fuel subsidy as an organised crime in Nigeria and said that he would have removed it if elected as president.

The LP chieftain, however, faulted the approach adopted by the current government headed by President Bola Tinubu in removing the subsidy.

Obi noted that he would have taken a well-thought-out approach before removing it to avert the current acute effects. He, however, noted that the president's announcement on May 29, 2023, is the multiplier effect Nigerians are suffering at the moment.
