[b]A statement from Cambridge today states;

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), now known as Cambridge Assessment, in response to requests to authenticate a candidate’s exam certificate, today said: “We can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate.”


note that this statement was made in response to "Nigerian Presidential election enquiries"

so if Cambridge is waiting for Buhari's request to confirm or verify results, doesn't it mean that yes, he was a candidate but details can only be given at his request?

mind you, this is Cambridge we are talking about; they would have easily said "the subject of your enquiry does not exist in our records, moreover we can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate"

The response from Cambridge clearly indicates that Buhari was a candidate, what they didn't however divulge is the details of his result.[/b]
