CSU: “Tinubu Should’ve Saved Nigeria From Embarrassment” – Ezekwesili

By Gideon Njoku

Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister for Education, has slammed  President Bola Tinubu over the Chicago State University certificate controversy.

Ezekwesili, also,  a former Presidential Candidate said Tinubu should have saved Nigeria from embarrassment if he had  voluntarily asked CSU to publish his academic records. If he had done that, Ezekwesili posited, it would have been less traumatic and, more important, exemplary.

In a post on X, she  lamented that Nigerian leaders abhore transparency.

Said Ezekwesili: “How so much easier it would have been for Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu to have saved the country and people the embarrassment of this Chicago State University -CSU court case by instantly and voluntarily asking the institution to publish his academic credentials!

“How difficult could that have been?

“How so less traumatic such exemplary disclosure to remove all doubts would have been for Nigerians.

“Like most Nigerians, it is profoundly embarrassing to field mocking questions on this matter that strikes at the heart of our National Integrity from foreigners.

“Our Public Leaders of a certain genre despise Transparency and yet it is an antidote to fiascos like this one.

“As Citizens, at the end of the 2023 electoral process that follows the judgement by the Nigerian Supreme Court @SupremeCourtNg, our work is cut out for us to uncompromisingly demand a root and branch reform of the entire Electoral @inecnigeria and Judicial Systems @njcNig.”
