In view of so much interest shown in the
non-presentation of the Certificates of
Buhari, APC Presidential candidate to
INEC, much interest has been shown in
determining whether he has met the
Constitution's education qualification. As a
member of the APC screening Committee, i
can affirm unequivocally that Gen. Buhari met
the education qualification prescribed by the
constitution.
General M. Buhari joined the Nigerian Army
in 1962, attended military training before
proceeding to Officers Cadets Training at
Mons Officer Cadet School, Aldershot, UK. In
1963 he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant
and appointed Platoon Commander 2nd
Infantry Battalion, Abeokuta. During this
same period he attended the Platoon
Commander's Course at the Nigerian Military
College, Kaduna.He later also attended
Mechanical Transport Officers Course at the
Army Mechanical Transport School,Borden,
UK. General Buhari attended the Defence
Services Staff College, Wellington, India in
1973 and from 1979 to 1980 as a Colonel, he
attended the U.S. Army War College in
Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Still the question remains, has General Buhari
without presenting especially his school
certificate or its equivalent met the education
precondition set for Presidential Candidates
in the Constitution?
To begin with, the Constitution does not
prescribe the presentation or show of any
Certificate to qualify for election to the office
of President. Under section 131(d) of our
Military Constitution, a person shall be
qualified for election to the office of President
if "he has been educated up to at least
School Certificate level or its equivalent."
While a Certificate may unequivocably show
that a contestant has been educated up to at
least School Certificate level, his education
without a Certificate may show, again
unequivocably that he has been educated up
to the equivalent of School Certificate level.
For example, assuming A is the best all A
student in Ajuwa Grammar School, Okeagbe,
Akoko. Now on the very day before the
commencement of the West African School
Certificate, he sexually harrassed the
daughter of the English teacher as a result of
which he was dismissed, will A be said not to
have met the education qualification of
section 131(d) of the Constitution?

Mumu we no need stories. Just ask your Oga to present his certificates!!! Is that too much to ask?

In my view A has not only been educated up
to at least School Certificate level he would
also be deemed to have been educated to its
equivalent. This position finds support in
section 131(d) which neither prescribed a
pass which is required for certification nor a
fail which denies it. The interest of the
Constitution is with the level of the education
of the candidate howsoever acquired, not the
certificate he aquires ipso facto.
The APC screening Committee was made up
of several eminent highly educated and
enlightened men and one Woman.They came
to the conclusion after putting APC
presidential aspirants through a most
rigorous test that all the APC aspirants met
the constitutional qualifications including
education qualification to contest for election
to the office of President. They confirm this
by awarding them a certificate. The
qualification set by the Constitution for
contest is the level of education not its
certificate. While a certificate may irrevocably
prove that the education qualification has
been met, it could in the same manner prove
rebut ably only that it has been met. Where
for example a Certificate has been purchased
for example in "oluwole" as it has happened
in several instances, a candidate though in
possession of a certificate cannot be said to
have met the education qualification of the
Constitution because he has not been
educated not to talk of up to school
certificate level.

Buhari is also guilty of perjury and forgery!!!! He will not only be disqualified but also prosecuted

With reference to General Buhari having
regard to his unimpeachable military training,
an irrefutable presumption was properly made
by the APC screening Committee that he met
the education qualification set by the
Constitution. Those who contest this or who
intend to contest that he met the education
qualification of section 131(d) have the
burden to disprove the irrefutable
presumption not General Buhari.

Mayour,
so you are saying the GMB does not have school certificate?

I have heard he is the best student ever to have attended the US War College.
This college awards academic Masters degrees in Strategic Studies.
May the good general furnish INEC and the general public with a copy of his Masters degree!

chukwudi44:

But do you think they can do that in Nigeria?

How on earth can one be educated to a school certificate level without a certificate? Imagine the kind of people who wants to rule us

Oh you think he is above the law?

Before you threaten violence just know that no one has a monopoly over violence? If Buhari does not provide his certificates, he will be disqualified!!!
The law must take its course

Thanks my sister!
The spin doctors are getting into a frenzy on this issue.

The military said the copies of his certificate is with them, but I ezpect him to state it in the affidavit that he cannot find the originals, but that he has the copies of it with the military.

Is this Buhari certificate.

It's true but rule of law is no more respected in this country, it is in this same country that we celebrate someone that steals billions of naira, while we sentence someone that steals something less that 50 thousand to death. Has the law taken its course in such situation.
My brother, may God save us in this nation Nigeria.

the only things there are his platoon leader course badge, etc.
no london GCE, no BSc, no Msc.
i have copies of london GCE, so if they forge one,
they will be going down.

I think Buhari forged the credentials with which he enlisted into the Nigerian army. He does not need the original certificates to prove case. All he is supposed to do is to send his examination no to waec for authentication.

He should not only be disqualified but also prosecuted and stripped of his ranks

BrokenTV:

Is this Buhari certificate.

I think am getting a point in that, maybe all the result been posted is true. Because according to the post, it seems the result is not too okay and presentable.

In as much as I await buhari to clear this mess, I disagree with the op. in law, it's a known principle that you cannot put something on nothing. without the basic, you cannot attain the desired. without school cert, you can't go ahead to obtain an msc

Buhari does not need to present his results to the public. Just send it to INEC shikena

Old man, when will you get sense?

STORY FOR THE gODS

chukwudi44:

You know once it gets to INEC, it will get to public

Buhari should do the needful,let him present the certificate required..

This isn't too much to ask for someone planning to rule us.

Yes, it's true but they are saying that they want him to present it. You know this is a whole nation where we have people in distinct sectors and who will see things in a different way, law may look at it in that perspective while philosophy may have a different viewpoint, that is why it is always necessary to fulfill all righteousness, by providing the results.

You hit the nail on the head

[quote author=brutef0rce101 post=29472003][/quote]

Buhari lied under oath that hide certificates are with the army which turns out to be false. He obviously forged the credentials with which he enlisted into the Nigerian army

What a shameful analogy.
Anyway if you attended to secondary school up to the final day but missed the final exams because you were expelled or whatever, you have nothing to show for your effort until you take that exam and get the certificate.
For someone who just wants to learn how to read and write for his own personal uses, he might not bother taking the exam, but someone who hopes to be employed where the certificate must be presented as evidence, he has no choice but to get that certificate.
Buhari falls into the second category.
He should have take last year's SSCE.

This is so funny. Nigeria: good people, great nation.

Shut up. Let the army spokesman confirm it. Same way you said tambuwal will be in jail last year, you just talk nonsense whenever you are drunk. Make we hear word jare old pa

The simple truth is that there is no way you can show that you have been educated up to school certificate level without a certificate.
It is that simple, no amount of logic can turn it around.

I wonder o, the man is a comedian. Let's be practical, assuming he has a school, and I come to him that I want to be teaching in his school, that i have the minimum requirement to be a teacher, but I cannot present it, because it is with my previous employer. Can he accept me with that analogy. When I have nothing to show for it
