Pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has appealed to Nigerians to remain calm and wait for the outcome of the Supreme Court on the ongoing certificate saga involving President Bola Tinubu.
The organisation urged Nigerians to refrain from heightening tensions and overheating the polity, as this will not augur well for the country.
In a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze Ndigbo noted that the allegations of discrepancy on President Tinubu’s Chicago State University (CSU) of the United States of America certificate are serious, and must be thoroughly investigated.
However, the organisation cautioned against any attempt to use the allegations to cause chaos and instability in the country.
