He emphasized that the Tinubu certificate saga has led to a negative perception of Nigerians by outsiders, making them appear as potential fraudsters, forgers, or identity thieves. 

He argued that this controversy was unnecessary and avoidable, and it has caused significant global embarrassment.

Obi further urged President Tinubu to have prevented the prolonged embarrassment and anxiety, even though it may be late at this point.
