Ahead of the 2015 general elections, Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo has told the Independent National Electoral Commission that his Bachelors and Masters degrees certificates in Architecture from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, have been consumed by fire.

Sambo, who is the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, made the declaration in the documents he filed with INEC and displayed on the commission’s office in Abuja although the details of the fire that consumed the certificates were not given.

Sambo’s papers were received and stamped in INEC headquarters between December 10 and 18, 2014.

The VP’s declaration was validated by two letters from the ABU, a copy of which was obtained by The PUNCH on Sunday.

The first letter, signed by one Alhassan Garba for the institution’s registrar under the title, “To Whom it may Concern: Mohammed Namani Sambo,” read, “I certify that the above-named person having completed an approved course of study and passed the prescribed examinations was awarded the Bachelor of Science (Architecture) with Second Class Honours (Lower Division) in 1976 by the Senate of this University. His original certificate got burnt. Please treat his case in view of this certification. Thank you.”

The second letter, also signed by Garba for the ABU registrar, read, “I certify that the above-named person having completed an approved course of study and passed the prescribed examinations was awarded the Master of Science (Architecture) on May 25, 1978 by the Senate of this University. His original certificate got burnt. Please treat his case in view of this certification. Thank you.”

Meanwhile, indications have emerged that only 13 political parties would field presidential candidates in the 2015 elections.

The parties and their candidates are the People Democratic Party, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan; the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); Action Alliance, Tunde Anifowose-Kelani; Kowa Party, Prof. Oluremi Sonaiya; United Progressives Party; Chief Chekwas Okorie; and National Conscience Party, Chief Martin Onovo.

Others are African Democratic Congress, Dr. Ibrahim Nani; United Democratic Party, Godson Okoye; Alliance for Democracy, Rafiu Salau; Peoples Party of Nigeria, Kelvin Alagoa; Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Alhaji Ganiyu Oseni; African Peoples Alliance, Alhaji Adebayo Ayeni; and Hope Democratic Party, Ambrose Owuru.

I never thought I would use this slang, but...Story for the gods!!!

Why will the crtificates burn the same time?

Something is telling me that that to whom is a toronto.

I have been wondering about this man's level of cluelessness for quite a while.

Sambo is equally as clueless, innept as his Oga at the top.

I wonder what we did to God to befall us this kind of calamity of two super clueless individuals.

February 2015 can't come soon enough

Eeehya! Hope he'll be able to use those letters as certificate for employment cos he'll be voted out in 2015, he'll need a job o

Lies lies everywhr frm dis clueless govt,y is INEC requestin 4 his result nw?

Samboribobo has always been samboriboberious. Little wonder most of the Samboriboberians are clueless just like their boss. Your certificate got burnt?! They got burnt as a result of cluelessness, daftness and unseriousness!

You would be replaced with an active and competent intellectual come May 29th. Osinbajo is already warming up!

Was this man's certificates not verified by INEC in 2011?

Is that an attempt at jokes? He better find the certificate because he will be needing it to find a new job next year

If my suspicions are right, this certificates got burnt by people who set his house on fire in anger that Buhari lost 2011 elections.

If this is the case I wont make too much noise about this burnt certificate if I am a Buhari supporter

Rioters have reportedly burnt the home of the Vice President, Namadi Sambo and that of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na’Abba in Kaduna State. The Kaduna State Office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has also been set ablaze by the rioters who are said to be protesting over the outcome of last Saturday’s presidential election won by President Goodluck Jonathan. The rioters are said to be attacking those who voted for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, President Goodluck Jonathan,...

Mike, once again without any fact or even any allegation from Sambo, you are again making False, atrocious and inflammatory allegation against Buhari. Is these Lies the PDP's Issue-Based campaign they announced?

It is appalling to watch PDP agents of corruption settle for frivolities, mudslinging and outright dance of shame to insult the sensibilities of Nigerians.

Come 2015, it is #Change.

I don't know of any other occasion in which Sambo's house got burnt. but the man filed his documents quietly and stating why he could not present his actual certificate without pointing fingers. But some people are trying to play politics with it and I am just reminding everyone that if we dig further the opposition may not like to hear the true story.

Responses so far have only exposed the low level of IQ of so many NLers especially those who specialize in abusing others. Do those who call Sambo liar mean people's certificate don't get burnt in fire? You call someone clueless and your level of reasoning is worse. Last time I checked, Sambo's house was burnt in 2011 post election violence and is possible that was when the sad incidence occurred.

Hmmmmm nothin we no go hear for 9ja,so dis man deh keep he certificate for house?wat happen to bank?if ordinary man keep cert for house,sambo go do desame...op above me,if u deh reason well too,u for know say dat sambo of a tin done big pass to keep cert for house,even if dat true he lost it wen he house got burnt,y he no talk dat time.

1. Sambo did not state where it was burnt.
2. Sambo has never made any allegation against Buhari (it seems this fallacious insinuation is an after thought). The letter was obtained this year for what you claim happened in 2011.
3. Finally read the link you posted, it clearly stated that what his people burnt was "The Kaduna State Office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC".

Your shameless campaign against the person of Buhari will not get Jonathan another term. After 6 years, in power Jonathan cannot run an issue based campaign. His only hope is in lies, begging IBB, promising to "formulate new policies" and piles of propaganda.

Sai Buhari 2015. We say no to failure, corruption and misrule.

God bless you. Many of them on NL who insult GEJ and Sambo can't even lead as class representatives. Some don't have a decent certificate. Thanks to a faceless forum.

Millions of Nigerians (including yourself) will perform exceptionally better than Jonathan, if give the opportunity of 6 years to lead Nigeria. Please don't use the failure as a yardstick for measuring a Nigerian - it will be gross injustice.

His house was burnt in the 2011 post election violence. Maybe that's when it happened.

You are too quick to call people shameless, you need to reflect on why that is.

Now here is another news from 2011 by Vanguard that sambo house got burnt in Zaria Kaduna as a result of the presidential elections!

I also stand by my caution to you not to accuse Buhari for Sambo's 2nd Class Lower Architect certificate until Sambo comes out to make that allegation. He is the redundant Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He has the capacity to speak if that is the case.

After 6 years in power and Trillions looted, Sambo's missing cows and gossips are Jonathan's issue-based campaign. This is very pathetic.

Must you PDP Supporters blame others always for your shortcomings?? You're already pointing fingers to people who should take the blame for Sambos burnt certificates. Na wa o
