The Minister of Defence, General Aliyu Gusau, another schoolmate of
General Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress in forthcoming February 14
election actually sat for and passed Cambridge/ WASC examination in
1961.

Gusau gave this affirmation in an interview he granted to an online
medium, Greenbarge Reporters.com.
He said: “You know that I’m not a politician but the truth needs to be
told that I have known Buhari since 1960. He passed through the
school that I also attended. He sat for his Cambridge/ WASC
examination and came out with Division 2. He then joined the Army,
rose to become Major General and Head of State.”
The Defence Minister spoke in response to the dust raised by the initial
inability of Buhari to present his school certificate to the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC, thereby setting off a firestorm of
disapproving comments from a broad spectrum of Nigerians, even as
many others stoutly rose to his defence over the matter.

Gusau wondered why the old students association of the school, had
not promptly risen to defend Buhari over the allegations.

“We had just formed an association of old students of Katsina
Provincial School, right from when it was a Middle School till date. And
His Royal Highness, the Emir of Katsina, who is an ex-student of the
school, invited some of us as the representatives of different sets, to
his palace and we decided to even form a secretariat. I thought that
the secretariat of our association should have clarified the status of Bu­hari’s certificates long before it took this dimension, Gusau said.” He
recalled that he met General Buhari in the Katsina Provincial
Secondary School when he was enrolled into the School in January
1960, the year Nigeria gained Independence.
“General Buhari, at that time was in form five. I stayed two years with
General Buhari at the school. They passed out in 1961 and we passed
out in 1964. Buhari had leadership qualities since secondary school; in
form five, he was a House Prefect.

“Their set went up to form six but we were the first set that finished
school at form five. Normally, out of those in form five, the school au­thorities used to pick House Prefects and when they get to form six,
House Captains were chosen from those who were House Prefects. In
Buhari’s case, he was a House Prefect in 1960 when we joined. By
1961, when he was in form six, he was chosen to be the Head Boy of
the School.

“There were four Houses during our time in the school; Magaji House,
Kaura House, Alkali House and Durbi House. Buhari was the House
Prefect of Magaji House in 1960, Justice Umaru Abdullahi was the
House Prefect of Alkali House, the late Mamman A Zango, who
became a policeman, was House Prefect of Kaura House while the
late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua was House Prefect of Durbi House.
By 1961, all of them became the House Captains of their respective
Houses but Buhari became the Head Boy.”
