Why we took result to Villa –WAEC

WAEC, however, said that the media frenzy that trailed its presentation of its certificate to President Buhari at the Villa on Friday was unnecessary.

In a short telephone interview with Saturday Tribune on Friday, the Head of Public Affairs Division of WAEC in Nigeria, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu, said what the body presented to the president was an attestation of result, and not a certificate.

“The Registrar to Council, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, and in company of the Head of National Office of WAEC in Nigeria, Mr Olu Adenipekun, went to the Villa to present not a certificate but an attestation of result.

“When we issue attestation of result, it comes with a passport photograph of the candidate. It’s not a certificate,” he said.

When did the president apply for it?

Saturday Tribune probed further. To this, the WAEC spokesman said what was important was that the president applied, and was issued his attestation of result.

“We can’t be saying he applied yesterday or day before yesterday; the only thing is that he applied, and we must give honour to whom honour is due as the president of the country. There is nothing wrong in that (taking the document to the Villa),” he said.

The photograph on the document issued to the president has also been an object of controversy with many saying that it was incongruous that the Buhari’s 1961 ‘certificate’ would bear the image of an adult Buhari.

But Demianus also explained this.

“When we issue attestation of result, it comes with a photograph the person presented when he was applying for the attestation of result.

“It’s not a certificate; it’s attestation of result. We did that (started issuing attestation of result) because of the rate at which candidates were losing their certificate; since we (WAEC) don’t issue certificate twice.

“So, we issue attestation of result for those who have lost their certificate, or their certificate is damaged or they cannot find it. You can apply for attestation of result. [color=#550000]And whatever passport you submitted when you applied for it is what will appear on the attestation of result.”[color]

Asked in another discussion why it is now that WAEC is giving Buhari attestation of result and not much earlier, he said Buhari didn’t apply for it until now.

On when Buhari collected the original certificate, he said since the examination was a school-based one, the candidate collected it from his school and WAEC would not know when he did so.

In his remarks earlier at the Villa, WAEC Registrar, Uwadiae, said it was possible for candidates to lose their examination certificates through fire or any other unfortunate incident.

“We don’t issue certificates twice but we can issue attestations or duplicate copy of the certificate.

“We also have what we refer to as confirmation; usually, universities were using this in those days when Information Technology was not in vogue.

“Whoever sat for WASC exams in whatever year, we have the records in our database, and Mr President, we have the records of the examinations you sat in 1961.

“We have the attestation of results which we issue to candidates who lost their certificates and confirmation of results,” Dr Uwadiae said.

1. If you have the actual document, would you go and waste money hiring lawyers to defend what you have or would you go and ask the organization in question to release the document? When Buhari was in Cambridge, why didn't he go and ask for his documentations to be released despite all the public pushing to do so? When GEJ PhD was questioned, did he hire sans to defend him or did he have the school release his diploma?

2. The military denied having Buhari's certificate and maintained throughout the scandal until when Buhari was sworn in and that's when APC informed us that the military found the missing certificate. The more people kept inquiring release of the certificate, it went missing again. You people are only fooling yourselves.

3. Considering how corrupt Nigerian leaders are and considering how much APC have been bribing people, yes I'm not convinced that is a real certificate especially considering he still refused to release the attestation to Inec for confirmation. That letter you all want to dismiss is there since 2015 and have been..

4. You say this when the answer is there for all to see even with the oluwole certificate. According to the oluwole certificate, Buhari failed mathematics in which a person needs to join the military yet he joined the military. According to what the military released years ago, Buhari entered the military by recommendation by his principal. Yes, Nigeria Army have always been corrupt even in 1961

kotv:


You punched what argument? You ended up proving me accurate. I mentioned that a Nigerian that manages WAEC in Nigeria was who signed and presented this oluwole certificate. You ended up proving that accurate. No wonder Buhari surrounds himself with people with the same intellect as him. I'm guessing you forgotten supposedly written letter was produced in a Ghana newspaper in 2015 before the real letter was exposed by the organization that asked for it. You people decieves only yourselves.

Anyone without a master's degree shouldn't lead this country.

These people should make that into law.

ionsman:


I don't have strength to type much to start educating you. This pix is your reply... Stop fooling yourself online. Some of you like forming clever whereas you are actually empty upstairs and only appear intelligent to fellow dense people like you. And you're a graduate too? Return your certificate you waste of time and gullible urchin.

That letter is as fake as the excuse of a thing you call brain. Is your president's name Mohammed Buhari?

SeverusSnape:


Oluwole Attestation.

Why was he unable to get it in 2015?. Ask yourself that question.

Buhari will soon get attestation certificate, B.Sc in cow rearing, University of Daura.

KingDonPablo:
Big fat lie Oga Buhari didn't write Waec.

Even if he did, can we now see why nothing good is going in under Buhari?

WAEC started giving Attestation of results in 2015 and he didn't see it fit to get it until now?

Can you now see the unserious attitude of a man we call president?

He is only serious when it comes to punishing perceived enemies.


May we never make this mistake again.

Stop with the explanation of the fraudlent behavior of the man you all try to pass of as having Integrity.I doubt anyone is surprised they included his current picture in the fraud certificate, they did the same thing in one they released in 2015.When you're a scammer, God finds a way to expose you and God have continuously exposed the fake integrity dullard.

If Buhari had his WAEC he wouldn't have hired multiples SANs to defend his lack of certificate when he was taken to court for it nor would thugs, in which I wouldn't be shocked if APC hired them, wouldn't have been threatening the lawyer that took him to court.

If he had his WAEC he wouldn't have been lying that the military had it. You are aware it wasn't just 2015 he kept accusing the military of having his certificate. He's been using that excuse since the first time he started running for presidency yet, WAEC didn't present him this attestation until he became president. Such a coincidence.Not everyone is as stupid as Buhari so stop selling us shit and calling it food.

All this proved is that there's no organization in Nigeria that's not been severally corrupted since Buhari took over.He destroyed our judiciary system now confirmation that education system is in the all time low.I thought it couldn't get lower but, Buhari proved me wrong.

They will always look for one english to support their lies.

Which one is attestation of result?

seunmsg:
No matter the explanation from WAEC, wailers will always wail. Nobody can stop them from wailing mischievously.

If WAEC had come out to deny the authenticity of result, they would be celebrating and praising WAEC by now. Buhari doesn't control WAEC directly but our illogical wailers think a body owned and controlled by all the English speaking West African countries can dash Buhari results for exam he didn't seat for. Wailing is allowed but for God sake, wail with sense.

Stop lying shamelessly to discredit others. This is the official response of WAEC to your lies.

israelmao:
Buhari told us that his certificate was with the military in 2015 and even recently but the military never made a statement as to whether it was with it or lost until there was public outcry.What went wrong?

phase1:
Explain this denial from this WAEC (owned by Anglophone West Africa with HQ in Ghana) few years ago.Please try very hard to stand logic on its head as usual, don't disappointment me.
