The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, has appealed to Nigerians to remain calm and wait for the outcome of the Supreme Court on the ongoing certificate saga involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The organization urged Nigerians to refrain from heightening tensions and overheating the polity, as this will not augur well for the country.
The Igbo group made this call in a statement signed by its Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro on Wednesday.
Isiguzoro noted that the allegations of discrepancy on President Tinubu’s Chicago State University of the United States of America certificate are serious and must be thoroughly investigated.
He however, cautioned against any attempt to use the allegations to cause chaos and instability in the country. He then expressed confidence in the ability of the Supreme Court to handle the matter judiciously and arrive at a just and fair verdict.
