NDC defends Obi’s credentials, knocks LP chieftain

Labour Party chieftain Abayomi Arabambi has taken legal action against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) over the academic credentials of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress. Arabambi filed three separate lawsuits in the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking access to official records related to Obi's certificates.

He is requesting that the institutions disclose the documents from which they can determine the authenticity and details of the certificates allegedly issued to Obi. The lawsuits were filed under the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, alleging that the institutions failed to respond to requests for this information. Arabambi's lawyer, Anderson Asemota, filed the suits on behalf of his client.
