The United Global Resolve for Peace (UGRFP) has urged the National Assembly to investigate President Bola Tinubu’s educational qualifications from Chicago State University to ensure their validity and authenticity.
They emphasized that this investigation is not only a matter of justice but also a commitment to upholding the rule of law and transparency.
UGRFP Chairman, Shalom Olaseni, made this demand in a statement, stating that ignoring this issue could tarnish Nigeria’s reputation both regionally and globally, and allowing the controversy to linger would have far-reaching consequences.
The group has also implored the National Assembly, as the embodiment of Nigeria’s legislative authority, to approach this matter with utmost seriousness.
They stressed the importance of a thorough, impartial, and prompt investigation as a demonstration of the nation’s dedication to the rule of law and transparency.
UGRFP cautioned against using this issue for political vendettas and urged for a transparent and honest resolution of the allegations surrounding President Tinubu’s certificate, which they believe is crucial for maintaining trust and confidence in the country’s leadership.
They called upon the President to address the nation and provide “indisputable evidence” to validate the authenticity of his educational qualifications obtained from CSU.
They emphasized that safeguarding Nigeria’s reputation and credibility is paramount.
Olaseni expressed concerns about the media attention surrounding these allegations and their potential to harm Nigeria’s image if left unaddressed.
He stated that transparency is not merely an expectation but a necessity for maintaining trust in leadership.
Lastly, Olaseni warned that failing to address such serious allegations could send a dangerous message that integrity and accountability can be compromised without consequences, which would undermine Nigeria’s democracy at its core.
