An Aide to former Governor of Anambra State, and PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has clarified the opinion held in some quarters that his Principal passed out of the University in a Third Class Degree.
The Aide, Barrister Valentine Obinyem, was responding to a question on that by a Reporter.
While dismissing the question as frivolous, because it has nothing to do with Obi’s intelligence and intellectual prowess, Obinyem revealed that Obi came out with a Second Class.
Obi read Philosophy at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and has since his graduation, attended a couple of the most prestigious Universities and other educational institutions in the world, including, but not limited to, Harvard, Oxford and the London Business School, all from which he studied Business, Economics, Finance and more.
Obinyem’s response reads:
“I do not know the source of that misinformation. I have considered it a trifle that does not worth a response.
“Since you have gone the extra mile, may I, respectfully, inform you THAT MR.PETER OBI GRADUATED WITH A SECOND CLASS AND NOT THIRD CLASS
“His degree does not matter because nobody doubts the power of his intellect and the fertility of his mind as seen from his conceptions.
“This clarification is, therefore, just to set the record straight for those who are genuinely misinformed.”
