Buhari Certificate Saga: Tension In APC Camp Over Court Case by chibecanglobal(m): 4:06pm On Mar 22, 2015
There is tension in the opposition
All Progressives Congress as a
Federal High Court in Abuja,
presided over by Justice Abdu
Kafarati, has given an order for
accelerated hearing in a suit brought
by a non-governmental organisation,
Global Center for Conscious Living
Against Corruption, asking for an
order of mandamus to compel the
Inspector General of Police to
investigate allegations of forgery and
perjury against the party’s
presidential candidate, Gen
Muhammadu Buhari.
In the suit number FHC/ABJ/
CS/172/2015, filed by Professor
Andrew Chukwuemerie, SAN, the
plaintiffs are seeking the order of
the court to order police
investigation into the “alleged
acquisition and possession of the
West African School Certificate by
Gen. Muhammad Buhari at Provincial
Secondary School, Katsina in view of
non-production of the said School
Certificate of certified true copy
thereof”.
Major General Muhammadu Buhari
(rtd),
The court originating summons,
supported by a 31-paragraph
affidavit, sworn to by Joy Odoh,
averred that the Inspector-General of
Police has an obligation under the
Nigerian Constitution to investigate
allegations of forgery and lying on
oath made against the APC
presidential candidate and that the
police had refused to do so despite
repeated demands.
One of the exhibits attached to the
originating summons by the plaintiff
is a copy of a letter written by the
Test Department of the National
Office of the West African
Examinations Council in Ghana
which states that Buhari’s name and
records were not in its examinations
archive thus suggesting that he was
never a candidate for the
examination set by the body.
The plaintiffs contended that Buhari
lied on oath and ought to be tried
for perjury when he declared in an
affidavit submitted to the
Independent Electoral Commission
that his Secondary School Certificate
was with the Military Board, a claim
denied by the Board.
The group said the allegations of
forgery and perjury were too weighty
to be ignored by the police “which
has a constitutional duty to
investigate all allegations bordering
on crime in the interest of justice
and that all efforts made to make
the police perform its duties have
proved futile”.
Meanwhile, subsequent upon an
application by the plaintiffs counsel,
the court gave an order for
accelerated hearing and directed the
Inspector-General of Police to enter
his defence within seven days.
The plaintiffs are also asking the
court to determine whether by virtue
of the provisions of the 1999
Constitution and the Police Act, the
Inspector General of Police is not
duty bound to investigate the
allegations especially when the APC
candidate has not submitted either
an original copy or a certified true
copy of his secondary school
certificate to INEC as required by
law.

Like Husband like Wife: As NUC declares Ashia
Buhari’s Certificate Fake.
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has
disclosed that, contrary to claims in some quarters,
any certificate obtained from the Kaduna Satellite
Campus of the Ambrose Alli University is fraudulent
and a scam.
This is coming on the heels of her husband’s
certificate scandal
Buhari had claimed his academic qualifications
were with the military board but the military came
forward to say he lied . Currently there are a couple
of perjury cases against Buhari in courts.
Deputy Director Press of the NUC, Ibrahim Yakassai
disclosed, this to The Nigerian Times when our
reporter called to confirm the status of the institution
and certificates earned from it.
He said: “It is fraudulent and a scam. There is no
such thing like Ambrose Alli University, Kaduna
Study Center. The NUC is not aware of such.”
The Nigerian Times recalls that the Sunday Trust
Newspaper in the story, ‘Now, Hajiya Aisha Buhari
steps out’, published January 18, 2015 had reported
that the beautiful wife of General Muhammadu
Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), had bagged a
Bachelor of Arts degree from the Ambrose Alli
University, Ekpoma (Kaduna satellite campus). She
later proceeded, based on the same degree, to
obtain a Master’s degree in International Affairs and
Strategic Studies from the Nigerian Defence
Academy, Kaduna.
The NUC in a directive in 2001, under former
Executive Secretary Peter Okebukola to all Vice-
Chancellors, had directed all university satellite
campuses to be shut down. While most Universities
complied, few others were adamant, leading to
another directive by the present Executive
Secretary Professor Julius Okojie, to re-affirm the
initial directive that all universities in the country
running external campuses (satellite campuses) be
shut down.
A satellite campus, according to the NUC guidelines
on which basis the illegal ones were closed down,
“must not be more than 200 kilometres from the
main campus,” “must not be located in a state
outside the state in which the main campus is
located,” “must have staff of the satellite campus
directly or indirectly appointed by the main campus
in line with laid down academic standards.”
According to Sunday Trust, Mrs. Buhari enrolled in
the undergraduate programme of the Ambrose Alli
University and received lectures at its Leventis
Building satellite campus, Kaduna.
The Newspaper also reported that she holds a
National Certificate in Education (NCE) from the
National Teachers Institute (NTI) alongside a
Diploma in Beauty Therapy at the Carlton Institute of
Beauty Therapy, Windsor, in the United Kingdom
and a certificate course from the French Beauty
School, Esthetique Academie Dubai. She is a
member of the United Kingdom’s Vocational
Training and Charitable Trust and the International
Health and Beauty Council.
Speaking to The Nigerian Times, a former
coordinator of one the satellite campuses of the
university who asked to be anonymous, said while
some campuses were able to insert records of
some students of the satellite campuses into the
general students’ records at the main campus,
others were just issued certificates without
recourse to the parent school.
He said while the certificates of those whose
records where successfully entered into the
school’s main record could claim some level of
validity, the others remain invalid.
He said: “The campuses started in 1998 and were
all officially closed in 2002.
“Some of the campuses at the earlier stages would
get someone from the main campus in Ekpoma to
invigilate the examinations and under some
arrangements would then register the students’
particulars in the record of the university. After this,
those certificates got a value of validity.
“However, after sometime some centers started
issuing certificates to their students in the name of
the parent university without any recourse to record
keeping and so when employers or schools of post
graduate studies contacted Ekpoma for verification,
the records of most of them were not found. These
developments finally led to the NUC’s hammer on
those centers.”
Every effort to get responses from the Registrar of
the University, Mr. Ojo Maliki and Public Relations
Officer of the university, proved abortive. While
mails where not responded to, calls from our
reporter were treated with rude and evasive
responses. A University officer, who craved
anonymity, told this newspaper that Edo being an
APC state, the authorities are extremely careful not
to get caught in Nigeria’s fractious political party
rivalries.
