The Presidency has hit out at fresh claims by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that Buhari’s Secondary School Certificate is non-existent.

They called it a ‘dead issue’ and speculated that perhaps the PDP has too much free time

The certificate saga is a dead issue, only idle people will consider it,” said Femi Adesina, an aide to the President


“It is something that had been laid to rest before the 2015 general elections,” he added.

“Those raising the issue (PDP and others) are idle and they have run out of ideas. They see defeat staring them in the face and they are desperate to cling to any straw. This issue was resolved before the 2015 election.

“It is a matter of fact that when President Buhari and others joined the military, they took their original certificates from them. The military knew where they kept the original certificates of the President.


“In fact, a former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Alani Akinrinade corroborated that the military collected the original certificates of all its officers. The PDP believes it is going to lose the elections, and they will lose, and it is raising dust over a dead issue.


“The military already said they lost the certificates. But does it mean that it did not exist that the President went to school, sat for examinations and passed; attended military courses and War College.

“It does not change the fact that the President rose through the ranks to become a Major-General in the Nigerian Army and a Military Head of State.

“Didn’t those opposed to President Buhari go to court over his certificate and lost before? They will still lose this time around. It is a dead issue.”

Mr. Lanre Issa-Onilu, the National publicity secretary of the APC also said: It is a dead issue. When PDP has something new to say, Nigerians will be ready to listen to the party.

“This certificate issue was thrashed in 2014. The President has the minimum qualification he ought to have to stand for election and he had more than the minimum.

“PDP thrives on the trivial. We want to tell Nigerians what we have achieved in the last three years and why the President should be re-elected. Instead of engaging in meaningful discourse, PDP trades on the trivial.”

Only a plonker would think you actually need a WAEC result for you to have a minimum of school certificate qualification.

The problem here is that your dullard has been committing perjury by swearing he has a certificate he never sat for

I guess the courts can clear that up then.

It is dead on arrival

Has the military responded?
