In a recent development, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has responded to the invitation extended by his fellow politician from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar. Atiku had called upon Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to join him in his pursuit of “justice” regarding the controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s certificate.

The crux of the matter revolves around President Tinubu’s academic credentials, specifically his certificate from the Chicago State University (CSU), which Atiku suspects may not be authentic. Atiku had sought the release of this certificate from the University to support his case before the Supreme Court.
In response to Atiku’s request, Peter Obi, speaking through the Head of Obi-Datti Media Office, Diran Onifade, conveyed that he would not be joining Atiku in this endeavor. Obi stated that his primary focus was on his ongoing appeal at the Supreme Court, and therefore, he would not be participating in the efforts related to the Chicago State University certificate.

Both Atiku and Obi find themselves at the apex court separately, pursuing different legal matters.
Obi said:
“All I can say is that we’re at Nigeria’s Supreme Court as separate entities. That’s where things are at the moment.
