Mr Tinubuโs birth records and academic history have been a subject of controversy before his election in 2023. It resurfaced recently ahead of the 2027 election.
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has asked Nigerians to take advantage of the 2027 campaign period to examine each candidateโs academic records and proposals and ask โtough questions.โ
Mr Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, spoke during a press conference on Friday to flag off his 2027 presidential campaign.
The conference was streamed live on his page and other social media platforms.
President Bola Tinubuโs birth records and academic history have been a subject of controversy before his election in 2023. The controversy resurfaced recently ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking at the press conference, Mr Obi, without naming any candidate, called for scrutiny of the candidatesโ records and academic histories for the election.
โEvery candidate must be willing to present their credentials, defend their records, and subject their vision to open scrutiny.
โNo candidate should hide behind the high walls of power, send proxies or surrogates to the hustings, and expect Nigerians to entrust them with the leadership of the country,โ he said.
โEvery candidate seeking the presidency must have the courage to come before the people, answer their questions, defend their records, and subject their vision to public scrutiny.โ
Apart from Mr Tinubu, who is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress is among the top presidential candidates for next yearโs election.

Mr Obi also launched his economic and security strategies for Nigeria.
The NDC candidate vowed that if elected Nigeriaโs president in 2027, he would leverage the comparative advantages of each region of the country to drive production, investment, job creation, and the sharing of prosperity.
He lamented that the country was currently battling myriad challenges, such as insecurity, economic hardship, and food insecurity, with many bearing the brunt of these realities.
โYet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. We're here to rescue a nation.๐ฏโ๏ธโ๐พ ใ
