The press conference granted by the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been branded as disgraceful and funny by a coalition of civil society organisations and political parties for good governance.
Dr Lilian Ene Ogbole, the group’s convener, told journalists in Abuja on Thursday that Obi’s questioning of President Bola Tinubu’s identification is juvenile.
She argues Obi is desperate because he tried to cast doubt on the President’s certificate and personal information, which he presented to INEC without a single piece of evidence to back up his assertions.

As a result, Ogbole advised Nigerians to disregard the former Governor of Anambra State for tarnishing President Tinubu’s and Nigeria’s image.
She said: “If Atiku’s press conference is aptly described as a face-saving gimmick, to capture power from the backdoor by weeping casual sentiments by fabricating and speculating lies that have been globally verified and completely buried forever, then Mr Obi’s belated press conference over the same issue, is at best childish, shameful and laughable.
“It is rather inexplicable and hard to comprehend what manner of desperation we are dealing with, particularly Peter Obi’s desperate attempt to create all manners of doubts around the documents and personal information that Mr President submitted to INEC without a single proof of evidence to substantiate his claims.

“Rather than providing evidence to contradict President Tinubu’s submissions to INEC, Obi laughably requested the President to help him with evidence that will invalidate the certificates and information submitted to INEC.”
