Army Has Copies Of Buhari’s Credentials(GMB Certificates Vandalised)–L. Mohammed by double0seven(m): 10:40am On Jan 04, 2015 |
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the on-going controversy dogging its presidential candidate for the February 14 general election, General Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as “contentious of our military institution”. Buhari had submitted affidavit documents instead of photocopies of his academic certificates, claiming that the originals are with the Army authorities. A weekly newspaper (name withheld) yesterday published a story where the military authorities claimed ignorance of the location of the certificates in question. But if what APC spokesman, Lai Mohammed, told LEADERSHIP Sunday last night is anything to go by, there is nothing to be worried about on the matter, since Buhari had been using court affidavit papers to contest previous presidential polls in 2003, 2007 and 2011. The full text of his reaction reads as follows, “What precisely is the controversy all about? Is anyone insinuating that General Muhammadu Buhari has not the requisite academic qualifications to stand as the presidential candidate of the APC?” Mohammed said, adding that “the facts on the issue of General Buhari are as follows; that General Muhammadu Buhari was in detention for over three years; that while in detention, captors raided his residence and vandalised his property including certificates and diplomas; and that consequently, after his release, whenever the General asked about his academic qualifications, he would refer such bodies to the Military Command, who has his service records including his academic certificates.” Continuing further, he said, “this was the case in 2003, 2007 and 2011, when General Buhari contested for President under the platform of the defunct ANPP and CPC and INEC was quite satisfied with the procedure.” According to Lai Mohammed, “this year, General Buhari adopted the same approach by swearing to an affidavit that all his certificates had been lost while he was in detention and that the Army Command has his service records, including records of his academic qualifications”, and that “INEC to the best of our knowledge has not expressed dissatisfaction with the situation, as this was exactly the approach in years 2003, 2007 and 2011 when General Buhari contested for President.” The APC spokesperson further queried, “Why is anyone trying to question General Buhari’s qualifications” saying it “is contentious of our military institution. Is the person saying a man who rose to become a General in the Nigerian Army does not have the equivalent of a secondary school?” LEADERSHIP Sunday recalls that similar situation arose in 1979 when some presidential candidates could not present their three-year tax clearance certificates, but after the initial hues and cries, the then electoral commission, Federal Electoral Commission, gave them a waiver which doused the tension in the land. http://leadership.ng/news/399563/army-copies-buharis-credentials-lai-mohammed 2 Likes |

I've been opportuned to do an affidavit for a missing document. In the affidavit, you state in details that you got the document, and the date and contents... you state what happened to the document. With the affidavit and maybe police report, you can request for copies of the document signed by the issuing body or a letter of introduction stating your qualification. The military has stated that copies of documents it has are readily provided to personnel at request. Following stated down procedures. Why can't Mr. "Change" stop arrogantly referring inec to "the secretary of military board" and follow the procedures to get the copies of his documents and an affidavit to show that the originals are missing. Which is what I believe the VP did and submit same to inec. The constitution requires a minimum of WAEC....I believe just submitting your WAEC cert qualifies you. My take: I believe the problem GMB has is that his WAEC result was woeful, and if he shows it, questions will arise on how he used it to advance. Which will kill all the integrity being preached by APC. 19 Likes |

Think about this: only a person sure of his credentials will refer you his alma mater to get the credentials..... a person who wants to forge or has forged will rather tender the certificates himself...... .....and the General has uses the same sworn type of sworn affidavit in three previous elections..... so what exactly is all the hullabaloo about now? 8 Likes |

double0seven: Presidency is public service, and you are accountable to the public. This is not military rule. The constitution has it requirements. He should go to his employer, get the documents, and submit it to inec. He has done otherwise in previous elections, this time around there's CHANGE. 13 Likes 1 Share |

the facts on the issue of GeneralThis was exactly what I told a friend. I insisted that the army led by IBB had tampered with the properties of muhammadu buhari after the IBB-led coup that toppled his government. There is no controversy here, whoever that is not satisfied should petition the army or go to court. Simple 5 Likes |

tempest01: Well thank God, the Army is also a public institutions...... and it practically sponsored most of GMB's education.. ....so INEC can easily write the Army to confirm. And the army itself without being asked can also do the needful to absolve one of its own, a General and former head of state for that matter. Ordinarily, in this kind of matter, the army would only be too eager to clear the air, buy it's obvious they've been compromised because they want to please the ruling party. Also a very important question posed by Lai Mohammed: Instead of people just making so much noise that amounts to much-ado-about-nothing, why not just state what exactly is in contention here? IS THAT GENERAL BUHARI DOES NOT HAVE THEE NECESSARY ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION TO CONTEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF NIGERIA?!! But no one will come out and say that because they know they will just sound ridiculous and stupid. They are only interested in trying to give the General a bad name. 4 Likes |

gboss4sure: there is nothing confusing in the matter.... you are the confusing yourself because of your intent to be mischievous. That Buhari was in detention for three years is an historical fact.... when he arrived back form Mecca, he never even made it home... was arrested right from the airport. like I said what exactly is in contention: Is that the General is not academically qualified to contest for the post of President? 4 Likes |

double0seven: Where is the certificate? Ok where are the photocopies? Buhari is a beneficiary of quota system and it is coming back to hurt him. All this stories he and apc is dishing out is just to divert attention to the real fact which could be that Buhari doesn't even have an o level certificate which is the minimum requirement for contesting election in Nigeria. 7 Likes |

Why is Buhari trying to confuse us The army tampered with your certificate when you were arrested? fine! What stops you now from going to the military or applying to the military for your certs and present to INEC? No one is even saying you should show your certs to the world.Is there something so sacred in those certs that you want to hide? Its true i see no big deal in this whole scenario.Just do the needful. 7 Likes |

So he used his affidavit on three different occasions and was endorsed by INEC. Why is it that there is no one persecuting INEC about this? If really the original must be submitted, why did they endorse him before and now they are screaming 'bring your result'? Mtcheeew! there is no truth is this country at all. And it breaks my heart to see that very few people can read between the lines. Is it not this same INEC that will conduct the election? 1 Like |

NgeneUkwenu: All the talk and counter talk is not really important as INEC has the job to certify candidates according to the constitution. But I think the incumbent party can take this flaw and influence the disqualification of your partys candidate. Why not go through the normal way and tender the documentations to avoid all these? 3 Likes |
