According to him, the reflection was prompted while completing his INEC nomination form on Monday.
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections, Peter Obi, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publicly publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office.
The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections argued that greater transparency would strengthen public confidence in Nigeria's electoral process.
Obi made the call in a statement he issued on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, titled "What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?", in which he questioned whether Nigeria's political leaders were demonstrating the qualities of responsible leadership amid worsening insecurity, hunger and allegations of public sector corruption.
According to him, the reflection was prompted while completing his INEC nomination form on Monday.
