Despite the release of the school certificate result of the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the controversy over
the released result has not subsided.

A research report by an educationist and Professor of
Educational Foundations at the University of Ilorin, A. A.
Adeyinka, has punched holes in the claims by Buhari
that he sat for and got a credit pass in Hausa Language
from the Provincial College (now Government College),
Katsina, in 1961.

Adeyinka, in the report titled: “Major Trends in
Curriculum Development in Nigeria”, said no school in
Nigeria offered subjects in local languages at the time.
His research report had further chipped away the
credibility of the Statement of Result released by the
college to support Buhari’s claim that he sat for the
secondary school certificate examination in 1961.

According to Adeyinka’s research findings available at
www.unilorin.edu, prior to the emergence of a
centralised government of the regime of General Yakubu
Gowon from 1966 to 1975, all regions in Nigeria had
different academic curriculums.

He added that it was only the Western Region that
offered a local language as a subject in both its
curriculum and school certificate examinations.
The university don said it was after a central government
was formed and a universal educational curriculum was
developed and adopted that other local languages were
included in school curriculums in 1974.

He listed subjects in the academic curriculum to include
English Language, Biology, Commerce, Principles of
Accounts, Health Science, Literature in English, Bible
Knowledge, History, Geography, Yoruba, Mathematics,
Physics and Chemistry.

According to Adeyinka, Yoruba was included in the
academic curriculum following the recommendations
of a commission set up to review the academic
curriculum for schools in the then Western region.
He wrote: “In the former Western region, for example,
both the Banjo Report (1961) and the Taiwo Report
(1968) recommended the revision of the school
syllabuses and the introduction of a new structure of
education.

“The Banjo report specifically recommended a new
model for secondary education, comprising junior and
senior secondary schools. The curriculum of the former
should be comprehensive.
“Similar recommendations were made in the East (Dike
1959, Ivan Ikoku, 1964).”

In the same vein, the Director Media, Goodluck Jonathan
Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, claimed
that he came across an e-mail dated Thursday, January
22, 2015 from the institution’s Archives Delivery Service
Officer, Jacky Emerson, to one Sodiq Alabi who
requested confirmation if the examination body offered
Hausa Language in the 1961 West African Certificate
Examination it organised.

Emerson, in his one-sentence reply, said: “According to
the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers,
including those for Hausa, were not included for West
African School Certificate.”
He had pointed out a number of inconsistencies in the
document at a press conference last Thursday in Abuja.

Among other things, Fani-Kayode pointed out the
alteration on Mathematics, which he said Buhari must
have failed, adding that since that was the case, he
should not have been enlisted in the military as a
commissioned officer, having failed to satisfy the
requirement of pass at credit level in Mathematics.
He said at best, Buhari should have been enlisted as a
non-commissioned officer.

He had also questioned the recent passport photograph
of Buhari on the statement of result (which is not a
certified true copy) purportedly issued by the Ministry
of Education, Katsina State; the “1961” date at the top of
the document which conflicted with the “2015” date
signed by the Principal of Government College (Pilot)
Katsina, whose name was not stated in the document.

Meanwhile, Fani-Kayode has also faulted reports which
claimed that the Minister of Defence, Gen. Aliyu Gusau,
said Buhari passed his Cambridge/WASCE examination in
1961 and that they attended Katsina College together.

Fani-Kayode, in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja,
said the report was part of the opposition’s propaganda
and desperate bid to cover the wrongdoing of their
presidential candidate whose integrity they have so
much flaunted.

According to him, “It has been brought to our attention
that a number of online publications and newspapers
have published a false story suggesting that General
Aliyu Gusau, the Minister of Defence, has defended
General Buhari on the certificate issue and has said that
they attended Katsina College together.

“This is pure falsehood and crass disinformation, and it
is indicative of the type of shameless desperation and
propaganda that the opposition are now indulging in.
“Not only did General Gusau not attend any school with
General Buhari or go to Katsina College but he has also
never sought to defend or absolve him in the on-going
controversy about his school certificate.

“We urge the Nigerian people to be very wary of the
antics of the opposition when it comes to this and
virtually all other matters; and we encourage them to
continue to insist that General Buhari should stop
clutching at straws and prove that he is the man of
integrity that he claims to be by producing his school
certificate.”

The Coalition of Concern Lawyers in Nigeria (CCLN) the
same day also picked holes in the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari’s certificate, calling on the
Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate and
prosecute those found guilty of perjury.

It equally called on the IG to investigate and prosecute
anybody found to have, forged the Permanent Voters
Cards (PVCs).

The group, which said it was not sponsored by any
individual or organisation, noted that its hallmarks was
credible, free and fair election devoid of any criminality.

It frowned at diverse statements that greeted the
authenticity of the certificate, calling for a thorough
investigation of the saga.
Dr. Amaechi Nwaiwu (SAN), made the call at a press
briefing in Abuja.
Saying: “Nigerians have the right to ensure that persons
contesting to gorven them are qualified. Where there is
an allegation of forgery, the Nigerian Police have the
powers on a complaint to investigate, interrogate and
prosecute any person found to have committed forgery
of a document or committed perjury.

“The Nigerian Police, under Section 214 of the
constitution and the Police Act, have the powers and
duty to investigate and prosecute such offences.

“We call on the IG to investigate, interrogate and
prosecute any person upon a complaint found to have
committed perjury or forgery of school certificate.”

Nwaiwu added that having relied on the school
certificate, it has to be produced and not only a
statement of result.
“We also call on the IG to investigate, interrogate and
prosecute upon complaints on persons found to have
forged the PVCs
“A fundamental aspect of our constitutional democracy
is to create electoral process with credible voters’
register, right to vote and freedom to vote.

“Freedom entails the voters’ right to have the franchise
recognised through registration and possession of PVC
to cast their vote freely, decide how to vote and expect
their ballot papers to be counted accurately,”
Nwaiwu
added.

In Logic(s): The statement wasn't specific to drive home your point

In which Countries in West Africa to be precise was Hausa offered as at 1961?
