<p>The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has questioned why President Bola Tinubu is seeking to withhold records concerning his past from a foreign court, saying Nigerians deserve answers on matters of public interest.</p>
<p>Obi raised the issue in a statement posted on his official social media page on Monday, August 31, 2026, where he expressed concern over the reported legal move and issues surrounding the President’s educational records.</p>
<p>The presidential candidate said a sitting President should have the courage to confront questions about his past rather than prevent such records from being subjected to legitimate scrutiny.</p>
<p>“It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest,” Obi said.</p>
<p>He questioned why issues concerning foundational education, including primary and secondary schooling, should remain unresolved or be dealt with mainly through legal proceedings.</p>
<p>Obi said Nigerians deserve “clear, credible, and verifiable explanations” on such matters, particularly where educational records had previously been submitted.</p>
<p>He also raised concerns about the example such controversies could set for young Nigerians, saying the Presidency should represent integrity, accountability and transparency.</p>
<p>“The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership,” he said.</p>
<p>“Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual,” he added.</p>
