A former aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has listed some of the discrepancies in the presidential candidate of the labour Party in the last general election as he defended President Tinubu.
Omokri, who made the assertion via a tweet on Saturday evening, said some Peter obi’s supporters have absolutely no capacity for objective reasoning.
The tweets reads,
“Dear, @Nero365,
“Thank you for your feedback. A cursory look at your profile shows Peter Obi as your cover profile. Now, let me list several discrepancies in Mr. Obi’s resume.
“1.He claims to have attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he supposedly graduated with a second-class lower degree in Philosophy. Yet he tendered only his WAEC certificate to INEC. Why?
“2.Peter Obi claimed Peter Odili was his head boy at Christ The King College. But Peter Odili had graduated and was already in University by the time Peter Obi was admitted into Christ The King College. Peter Obi was born in 1961. Peter Odili graduated from Christ The King College in 1967. Did Peter Obi gain admission to a secondary school at age six? Please fact-check me.
“3.Obi listed various schools on his resume during the election, but on his website, only two schools are mentioned: Christ The King College and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Why the lacuna?
“Yet, those discrepancies do not worry you. Instead, you think I am a problem for Nigeria.
“The issue with many of you Obidients is that you have absolutely no capacity for objective reasoning.
“Thanks again, and may God bless you. #TableShaker”
The former aide made the comments following fresh documents making rounds on social media that President Tinubu did not attend Chicago State University.
Another tweet by Reno reads,
“Dear @Maliya_Ocean08,
“Thank you for your feedback. This was in 1979. You are probably too young to remember an analogue world. Westerners find it hard to pronounce and spell many African names.
“For example, Reno is not my first name. It is not even my second name. Whilst I attended elementary school in California in 1983, my family called me Bemigho. But in school, I was called Be-Michael. Out of frustration, I gave them my second name, Gbubemi. They called it Boogy me. Finally, in desperation, I gave them my other name, Reno, because there is a town in California called Reno.
“That is how I became Reno. If not that I had parents with a strong affinity to their African culture, they would have plucked out one oyibo name from the ether for me so I could blend.
“In those days, you used to write your name long hand. White folks will struggle with many African names and misspell them. Chicago State University has deposed to an affidavit in court that this was due to a clerical error.
“Even today, many people experience that worldwide.
“For example, search for the name Mummar Gadaffi, you will see various spellings. Even our former President, Mohammadu Buhari, has some of his certificates bearing Mohammed. Yakubu Gowon has Jack Gowon in some of his certificates.
“Look at Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Greek born Nigerian basketball player. His school changed his name to Antetokounmpo. His actual name is Adetokunbo.
“But if you still have doubts, then contact Chicago State University via their phone number (+1 (773) 995-2517) and their email address ([email protected]).”
