The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Nigeria has sparked controversy after deleting its own 2016 video, confirming former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi's assertion about the state's remarkable educational progress. The video validated Obi's claim that Anambra transitioned from 27th to 1st in academic ranking. The deletion, occurring amidst heated discussions online, has prompted diverse reactions from social media users.
While some attribute the act to tribal bias within organizations like WAEC, others point fingers at political affiliations, suggesting the influence of the APC government. However, not all reactions lean towards conspiracy theories, with users expressing defiance against the deletion and others highlighting the inability to erase facts from people's memories.
Nigerians lament the apparent suppression of truth, viewing it as a hindrance to national growth. Meanwhile, sentiments echo a belief in divine intervention and eventual vindication for Peter Obi.
As the controversy unfolds, WAEC's actions raise questions about transparency and accountability within key governmental institutions, fueling skepticism among Nigerians about the integrity of such organizations.
