President Goodluck Jonathan has rejected explanations by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, over concerns about his qualification.
The PDP accuses Mr. Buhari of not having requisite secondary school certificate or its equivalent to bid for president.
Speaking to journalists on Sunday, Mr. Buhari expressed surprise at the growing concern by the Mr. Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on the matter, saying he was qualified the three times he contested to be president.
“I have contested three times under the same rules set by INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) where there is a basic educational qualification you must have.” The former military ruler was quoted by Punch newspaper as saying.
“I was allowed to contest all these elections because my certificate was in order and there were individuals that wrote to the United States War College and the college answered them and they were published in the newspapers.”
He continued: “So, I really don’t understand this desperation or misinformation that is being passed around. They will do nobody any good because our minds are being taken away from the serious issues of corruption and incompetence by the PDP.”
But in statement by his campaign group Monday, Mr. Jonathan said that Mr. Buhari was allowed thrice to contest elections does not imply he was qualified.
Read the statement signed by Femi Fani-Kayode, head of Media of Mr. Jonathan’s campaign organization.
It is disingenuous for Buhari to say that he contested previous elections and that the issue of his qualifications did not arise. Had INEC not complied with the Electoral Act this year, which requires that they paste the academic credentials of all the Presidential candidates, Nigerians would have remained ignorant of the fact that Buhari has probably been submitting affidavits for the past elections.
The fact that he got away with it in 2003, 2007 and 2011 does not make it right. The minimum that Nigerians require from Buhari is the presentation of his secondary school certificate which enabled him to gain admission into the Nigerian Military College in 1962 and on which basis he became a commissioned officer of the Nigerian Army.
This forms the fulcrum for the subsequent courses that he attended as he rose in the Army, including the U.S. War College. Failure to produce that school certificate implies that Buhari’s entire career in the Army was based on falsehood which cannot stand. This brings to question the admission system/policy into the Army in the early 1960s.
Were the rules bent for certain individuals in fulfilment of the quota system? Anyone that reads General Alabi Isama’s book which was published last year will know that this was the case. In fact, Alabi Isama went as far as to allege that some Nigerians were admitted into the military academy without the necessary qualifications like school certificate.
We believe that Buhari was one of those people and this is why he is unable to produce his certificate. The truth is that he was never qualified for entry into the Military Academy in the first place and consequently he should never have become a commissioned officer let alone a man that rose to the rank of General. At best he ought to have remained a non-commissioned officer.
As long as he cannot produce that secondary school certificate, we believe that he is not qualified to run for the Presidency of Nigeria. This is a matter of law and not sentiment. Buhari, just like any other Nigerian, must be compelled to abide by the law and he must prove his eligibility for the Presidential election by simply producing his secondary school certificate.

Only real certs please.

The pendulum is gradually swinging towards the former head of state. Still I watch

This is a stewpid statement from FFK who is in fact working as a DOUBLE agent with his cramjones scamjones moniker on NL.
It takes away from debating core issues of comparative performance record that will consistently show that Buhari is a WORSE candidate. This COMPARATIVE performance record should be the overwhelming FOCUS of Jonathan's presidential & other PDP candidates' campaign

PDP needs to relieve him of his duties asap before he does more damage.








Kai Buhari!!!

one barrel of crude oil is now below 50$

One barrel of crude if refine is equivalent to 150 liters of fuel.

Do the maths

Why can't we own a refinery?

If we refine this crude oil in nigeria there will be no need spending money for imported fuel.

We could simply buy locally refine fuel for 20naira.

Oil thefts steals 400,000 barrel per day.

And nigeria only need free 250,000 barrel per days to power our economy, but only few people enrich themselves with GEJ.

This will only make us to spend for refining cost and by then it will be around 10naira if crude oil is free.

This will make our economy more stronger and the poor will feel the impact of a government. No robbery and kidnapping.

to power electricity and the whole nigeria economy is 250,000 a day. Oil thefts steals 400,000 per day.

Jonathan failed nigerians

Making your fonts bigger does not magically make your blatant LIES and fake figures become true.
No!
They still remain the FAKE words they are.

- How many refineries are owned by Obama's USA government

- Why did we cluelessly follow the daft opposition to oppose complete deregulation of fuel market three years ago in 2012?

- If we had followed the good lead of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan & Arch. Sambo back then there would have been so much competition among the private investors leading to REDUCED prices, increased EMPLOYMENT, greater productivity for the economy and more tax revenue for the federal,states & LGAs where the NEW private refineries would have been located!

- Is this not what happened with telecoms, cement, fertiliser & agricultural production and is going to happen for LOCAL vehicles, electricity power etc as the sectors are SYSTEMATICALLY deregulated away from government participation.

Inec has told anybody who cares to listen to go to court. And not by gossiping at the backyard just like GEJ and the PDP. Nigerians are ready for change of which even if Buhari presents a Nairabet slip as his certificate, we will still vote for him. APC change! Change, APC. Buhari is the force of Nature nothing can stop him. Not even the ranting of a drowning man like GEJ.

Hmm!
This Buhari's certificate must be something else.
After a day of brainstormin I could only come up with one conclusion...................
Buhari had gone back to enroll in the September/October GCE and is awaiting result that will be released come February.
But until then...
Buhari show us your............te.

When the market is not open. A monopolistic market and you think it will deregulate?

What about the price of diesel? Has diesel reduce in price since subsidy was remove?

GEJ is a waste of time and resources.

No another 4 years. No way.
