Just 24 hours after the principal of the Government
College, Katsina, Mallam Isyaku Bello released the West
African School Certificate (WASC) results of the All
Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Rtd. Gen.
Muhammad Buhari, new reports are here!
.
The Nation reports that the principal, Mallam Isyaku Bello
has been receiving death threats for releasing the
controversial, much-awaited WASC result. Although as at
last night, the exact place where the threats are coming
from cannot be ascertained directly.
According to a source close to the principal, it was made
known that the pricipal, Mallam Isyaku was called upon by
his employers, the Katsina State Ministry of Education,
concerning the release of the results.
The principal who is presently at a crossroad and does not
know his fate for releasing Buhari’s results was said to
have explained that he needed to defend the integrity of the
college (formerly Provincial Secondary School, Katsina) and
not Gen. Buhari as he is not political minded.
The embattled principal was reported to have made
numerous distress calls to his close friends and relatives.
“Some forces were unhappy with the issuance of results
to Gen. Buhari and they have been threatening the
principal. They have been calling him names, abusing
him. Some were actually threatening to deal with him.
“They told the principal that he ought to have left Buhari
to his fate instead of releasing his results.
“Faced with pressure, the principal has reached out to
friends and relatives on the threats. He explained that he
did so to protect the integrity of the college and not
anybody’s. “We hope that no harm will come upon the
principal, who was just doing his job,” a source close to
the principal reveals.
Although it is still unclear whether Mallam Bello has
reported the threat to the police or not as at press time,
when The Nation put a call through to him, he did not pick
his calls neither did he reply his messages.

However, a highly-placed source in APC Presidential
Campaign Council confirmed the threats saying, “This is an
unfortunate development if it is true that the principal is really
being harassed for doing an official assignment.”
However another source said: the Katsina State Government
actually consented to the release of the results by the Ministry
of Education in view of the sensitive nature of the issue at
hand.
A government source said: “Since the WASC results of
Buhari had become political, the position of the government
was that the principal ought to have cleared the air after all
Buhari is a citizen of the state.
When the Special Adviser Media to Governor Ibrahim
Shema, Mr. Lawal Ahmad Matazu, said: ”Is that so? I’m
hearing it for the first time from you. I will find out.
Thanks.”
It would be recalled that just yesterday, former Nigeria’s
president Olusegun Obasanjo spoke about the certificate
controversy rambling WASC certificate of the presidential
candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress
(APC) General Muhammadu Buhari (retd).
Obasanjo said that incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan
is aware that his opponent is capable to run for February
presidential poll but some hawks with Jonathan, do not
want him to contest because they believed that he will win
and come for them.
