The University of Cambridge Local
Examinations Syndicate, UCLES, now
Cambridge Assessment, has provided
further details on the West African
School Certificate, WASC, results
presented by Muhammadu Buhari, the
candidate of the All Progressives
Candidate in the February 14
presidential election.
In a new post on its website, the
university confirmed result grades for
the examination in 1961 were issued in
numbers, not letters, as suggested by
critics of Mr. Buhari who have dismissed
the results he presented as fabricated.
According to Cambridge, “Examination
results were classed in grades from 1 to
9”.
“1, 2,3,4,5 & 6 indicate a Pass with
Credit; 7 & 8 indicate a Pass; 9 indicate a
Failure,” the school said.
Results tendered by Mr. Buhari shows he
had credits in English Language,
Geography, Health Science, Hausa
Language; failed in Mathematics and
Woodwork, and had a pass in Literature
in English.
In its post, Cambridge said for
candidates to qualify for its certificate in
1961, they needed to pass English, and
not necessarily Mathematics.
“To pass the School Certificate,
candidates had to pass examinations in
a variety of groups. It was compulsory to
pass English Language, but not Maths, in
order to gain the Certificate,” the
university said.
The details followed intense controversy
over whether Mr. Buhari, a former Head
of State and retired Army General,
completed his secondary education.
The Nigerian constitution requires any
candidate running for the office of the
President to have at least the Senior
Secondary School Certificate or its
equivalent.
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, and the campaign office of
President Goodluck Jonathan accuse Mr.
Buhari of lacking the requisite
qualification for the office of the
president.
Mr. Buhari, who ran for president in
2003, 2007 and 2011, repeatedly
declared that copies of his academic
records were with the military.
The former head of state also said
original copies of his credentials were
lost when his house was raided when he
was in detention during the
administration of Ibrahim Babangida
who toppled his regime.
The Army at first said it had copies of
Mr. Buhari’s results, but backtracked
later, saying it had only a letter of
recommendation from his principal at
Katsina Provincial College, result grades
without either the statement or
certificate.
In response, Mr. Buhari obtained copies
of his WASC result from his former
secondary school, now Government
College, Katsina.
After the publication of the Statement of
Results, some Nigerians, including
President Jonathan and the PDP,
dismissed the results as forged.
One of the allegations said Hausa
language was not part of the Cambridge
exams in 1961.
Another said Mr. Buhari’s results that
year were recorded in alphabets, not in
letters as Mr. Buhari claimed.
While Cambridge has declined to
categorically confirm Mr. Buhari’s
results, saying only the APC candidate
could request or authorize such
disclosure, the school posted a response
to enquiries on the matter on their
website authenticating some of the
claims in Mr. Buhari’s result.
The University confirmed that according
to the Regulations for 1961, African
Language papers, including those for
Hausa, were set for the West African
School Certificate.
It also put the number of candidates who
sat for the WASC Hausa examination in
1961 at 152.
“Our records show that Hausa was set in
the Northern Region in 1961,”
Cambridge said.
The university also confirmed result
grades in 1961 were issued in numbers,
not letters.

Ok. Next

These pdp animals won't let this certificate saga rest. They want to deceive the gullible when they know Buhari really sat for the examination.

If only we can see his WAEC certificate

Just a little more time

Wats next for d PDP?. Buhari never had a single hair-cut during his days in d Army or He should produce d receipt of d last boxer he wore as a military General??. Seriously I see dat coming very soon!. What is d matter with PDP really??. How a President dat have ruled for more than 6years seems "very" comfortable 2 be fabricating propaganda against his opposition as means of campaign rather than using his achievements as means of campaign bugs me so much.

Certificate or no certificate, we need change. Lets give him a benefit of doubt and if he is not performing we will vote him out. The situation we are now is a mess and if we continue in the part of sentiments, our future generation will never forgive us. I am not a politician and I don't trust politician, but we have been deceived once by the present administration, we should not continue to deceive our selves with Religious and Ethnic sentiments. GOD BLESS NIGERIA

GEJ till 2019
