Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has said that President Bola Tinubu could have saved Nigerians from embarrassment after the Chicago State University released his academic records.
In a post on X, the Ezekwesili lamented that some public leaders despise Transparency and yet it is an antidote to fiascos like this one.
She said that such would have been less traumatic and exemplary.
The former Minister wrote, “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.”
