In a statement on X, Obi expressed no objection to the release of his Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, awarded in 1984, as well as other academic records related to his admission and studies at the institution. He emphasized his belief in transparency and accountability, particularly for those seeking public office, but urged that scrutiny be conducted fairly and lawfully.",
