The Independent National Electoral Commission on Saturday said only the courts could disqualify a former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), ahead of the 2015 general elections.

The commission, which said there was nothing it could do in the matter, also said it had not received any petition against President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, Buhari and other presidential candidates, more than seven days after displaying their particulars.

The Director of Voter Education and Publicity in INEC, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, in an interview with our correspondent, said the commission could not go beyond its constitutional powers.

“What do you want INEC to do? INEC cannot disqualify anybody and there is nothing we can do. We don’t have any power to disqualify him.He didn’t bring it (certificates) and so there is nothing INEC can do. INEC cannot disqualify him and cannot remove his name. It is only the courts that can disqualify him, if they feel there is something wrong that he has done. I am not aware of any (petition); none that I am aware of for now. I am not aware of any (petition). I am not aware of any so far,” Osaze-Uzzi said.

Buhari had in an affidavit which he deposed to at a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, explained that all his academic credentials were with the Secretary, Military Board.

The affidavit deposed to at the FCT High Court and dated November 24, 2014, was stamped and received by INEC on December 18, 2014.

“All my academic qualifications documents as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015 are currently with the Secretary, Military Board as of the time of this affidavit. The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose”, Buhari stated.

The Nigerian Army had said it would readily release credentials and certificates in its custody to serving and retired officers whenever they apply for it.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Olajide Laleye, had while reacting to Buhari’s claim in his affidavit, said that his credentials were with the military.

He said the procedure for the retrieval or collection of the certificates was known to all serving or retired officers of the military.

He said, “Every serving and retired Army officer has, at least, a copy of his certificates and credentials kept with the Nigerian Army while that same serving and retired officer has copies of those same certificates and credentials.

“And there is a laid-down procedure to request for certificates. It is known to any serving and retired officer. If you want anything checked in your file, you simply follow the due process and it would be given to you because the credentials belong to you.”

“The Nigerian Army does not refuse to give anybody his credentials if the due process is followed. Now, take note of this. Not only does the Nigerian Army keep these things, the individual officers, whether serving or retired, have copies.”

Also speaking, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said he was not aware of any petition against any of the presidential candidates.

Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi stop faster fostor...., u are a layer

.

Hmmmn owk. Where all this is heading to, only God knows

On certificate talk, U saTANists are just struggling for pathetic straws. No be today we dey here certificate propaganda. This is always the last straw pdp uses when all hope is lost. In edo after oshomole won, pdp decided to be saying the guy had no certificate. They went to court and lost after the case was lost, and evidence proven. General buhari if he had no certificate would have said it got burnt like sambo. But he told us who it is with. The same military accepted that they have the copies and buhari could apply to get it if he wanted to. Inec told us they do not have power to screen or verify certificates and that has been proven in the times gmb contested previously. Gmb gave an affidavit, in an affidavit you are suppose to list the stated documents which you posses with its year of issuance. If what Gmb stated do not exist. Its obvious the pdp would have lashed on that and make the military confirm to the world that such degress was never acquired(since the military has the well documented file histroy of all its generals and head of states) and gmb would have been disqualified by law that asked for a minimum certificate requirement. Buhari hasn't released a statement on any of the certificate issue because he knows how irrelevant the propaganda is. If he wanted it he would have simply applied to get it, is it to gullible e-rats of Tan he would now be displaying it to. Or have gej showed you his. it shows inec does not have the justification to demand or screen it by law and so it doesnt bother him. All this talk are just mere propaganda by people who want to have straws to sobber their pathetic case on. I dare say if gmb has no certificate he should be disqualified now, but that hasnt happen and wouldnt. Or is INEC or the pdp scared to use it against him if it doesnt have one. Its only these pdp erats that wallow in this pathetic sympathy to make themselves happy

But the army said [url=speshsworld.com/nigerian-army-has-buharis-academic-records-but-he-needs-to-apply/]they have GMB's academic records[/url]. As far as I'm concerned, the certificates issue is dead.

Who is the clueless one one, GEJ or GMBv don't play with any man that keeps mum all the time,they attcak when least expected

Who is the clueless one one, GEJ or GMB? don't play with any man that keeps mum all the time,they attcak when least expected

mumu na you he want show am to! Inec no get problem with him

A drowning man will clutch at a straw.

Instead of GEJ to admit his failures & bow out honourably, he keeps looking for petty excuses to disqualify GMB, forgetting that, while GMB has been crowned & enthroned [by the gods]; his own fate has been sealed to be disgraced out of Aso Rock on February 14, 2015.
