Speaking to journalists, Nwobodo stressed that despite having problems, neither he nor the late C.C. Onoh engaged in a campaign of smears during their political careers.
The former governor claimed that after learning of Mbah’s alleged certificate forgery, he became extremely concerned.
“I was worried, very worried, when I heard the news. Tell me the truth, I demanded when I called Peter. He assured me that it wasn’t real. He confirmed to me that he did indeed complete the NYSC and receive a certificate.
Additionally, he sent me photos that he took while at the NYSC orientation camp in Lagos State. All of the evidence is present.
He said, “I am pleading with politicians to stop this kind of politics; we did not practice this in our own time.
