barcanista:
The PDP isn't in court because they know that they have no case. However, they are deliberately capitalizing on this to make it look like a scandal. What I am saying is that the APC should step in and shut them up, because the PDP is playing on the emotions of people.

AndreRose:
The 1999 constitutionof Nigereia(section 131 subsection D) provides that its the secondary school certificate and not primary school one. So if he can not produce it, he has failed one of the requirements needed.

barcanista:
Bros, he passed through secondary school and did the WASC. He just gave out his Waec number... Go figure

barcanista:
So you think one will just walk into USAWC without having prerequisite qualification? The APC manages his campaign and everything that has to do with it. I am 100% sure that the General has got nothing to hide.

HzRF:

With this certificate issue alone, I can't vote Buhari. There is no way a man who is not faithful in little thing like certificate can fight corruption. NEVER.
The annoying thing is: going by the mode in which he attained his accomplishments, he will not see a big deal in promoting people with mediocrity. Giving people (especially the northerners) appointments even when they are not qualified cannot be alien to him. People may argue how has a man with PhD fair with his qualification? That question however rather brings another twist to the drama. It raises another serious question: If a man with PhD seems to be struggling, what can we then expect a man without SSCE to perform?
I don't want to be taken away by argument that Buhari rose to become a General in Nigerian Army . The truth is that Hausa/Fulani controlled and dominated the military for long that getting to the top irrespective of your qualification or background as long as you are from their stock cannot be a problem. Example is what we see in Abacha. It is their attitude of not caring about qualifications that brought so much rot into the Nigerian Army and even Nigeria as a whole.
I personally went to school, study hard, know my onions, have come to appreciate distinction and professionalism and believe how well read determines how you perform in any given office. I refuse to give in to argument that a man with little education is better than one with higher education. If that argument holds water, the world can as well wipe out secondary and higher education while we all simply go to school to simple learn to read and write. What is the essence of people spending their resources and life time studying if it can be argued that such is not necessary.

wirinet:
Is it that you are unable to read or that that you have comprehension deficit syndrome. Did the army say they are not in possession of copies of Buhari's WAEC certificate? Where did you read that Buhari was admitted into the army with only a mere letter from the principal?

Fawklicant:
Handkerchief abi bucket?

ApexTitan:
Buhari should have stated in the begining that he got into the army based on a recommendation letter from his school principal and avoided this scandal that may have cost him some votes. Now this development has increased the workload of his supporters who now have to spin this recommendation letter as fair and acceptable practise.

Firefire:
WE NEED ONLY his O'LEVEL, a photocopy ONLY!

Descartes:
"It said at a press conference in
Abuja on Tuesday that it had a
letter from the Principal of
Buhari’s secondary school,
dated 1961, recommending him
for enlistment into the military school."-Nigerian Army The truth is gradually coming out.

Clerverly:
I pity jonathan! He is really on a white ghost chase!

Doyin2:
Ok.I will tell GMB to address a letter to you,stating what effort he has made to get the certificate from the military and result of such effort.

A big Clown!

Doyin2:
Are his documents not with the military? Are you also aware that the military ransacked his house when he was overthrown by IBB,carting away his vital documents,including certificates?You need to do more research,Google is your friend!

You do not need a PhD to be president of Nigeria,but experience,capacity,capability and vision.

Anyway,GMB has more than school cert.He has complied fully with the laws of the land.I admire his calmness over this nonsensical hooey.A general that has attended the best degree awarding military institutions in the world(local and international),has enough education to lead Nigeria.He has done it before!!!!!!!

Section 31 of the Electoral Act and 318 of the constitution are very clear(The law is not interested in any certificate,but just an assurance that you are educated),an affidavit is sufficient ,according to the law:

ELECTORAL ACT
31. -(1) Every political party shall not later than 60 days before the date appointed
for a general election under the provisions of this Act, submit to the
Commission in the prescribed forms the list of the candidates the Party
proposes to sponsor at the elections.

by an Affidavit sworn to by the candidate at the High Court of a State,
indicating that he has fulfilled all the constitutional requirements for election
into that office.
(3) The Commission shall, within 7 days of the receipt of the personal
particulars of the candidate, publish same in the constituency where the
candidate intends to contest the election.
(4) Any person may apply to the Commission for a copy of nomination form,
affidavit and any other document submitted by a candidate at an election and
the Commission shall, upon payment of a prescribed fee, issue such person
with a certified copy of document within 14 days‖.
(5) Any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that any information
given by a candidate in the affidavit or any document submitted by that
candidate is false may file a suit at the High Court of a State or Federal High court…

The truth is that he was never qualified for entry into the Military Academy in the first place and consequently he should never have become a commissioned officer let alone a man that rose to the rank of General. At best he ought to have remained a non-commissioned officer. As long as he cannot produce that secondary school certificate, we believe that he is not qualified to run for the Presidency of Nigeria. This is a matter of law and not sentiment.
