Constitutional lawyer, Prof. Itse Sagay, says the qualification Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has is equivalent to a Master’s degree.
Sagay, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, said this while reacting to a claim by another senior advocate, Mr. Mike Ozekhome, that Buhari was not qualified to contest because he could not provide his certificate.
Sagay said there was nowhere in the constitution where it was stated that a candidate of a political party must provide his certificate.
He said Buhari attended the Military Training College in Kaduna; the Mons Officer Cadet School in the United Kingdom; and the Army War College in the United States.
He said anyone that did not have a secondary school certificate could not have attended such prestigious military schools.
He said, “This whole discussion of Buhari’s qualification is a negative distraction from the legitimate process of electioneering which should involve issues, records of the candidates, their character, and their capacity to govern. These are things we should be talking about.
“The constitution is very clear on the issue of qualification. It states that you are qualified to be a President if you have achieved the level of school certificate or its equivalent. Buhari has been to Military College in Britain, he has been to colleges in India and USA, involving high level of training and intellect.
“We need to ask if participation and completion of courses at these levels and the basic officers training in Mons Officers Cadet School are less than school certificates. On the contrary, you need school certificate to attend those courses. So, if he has attended all those courses, then there is absolutely no need to be talking about secondary school certificates anymore.
“So, this man attended secondary school and we hear he was even the head boy. He has been to the Cadet School in Mons, he attended the War College in the US and was given a certificate which is equivalent to a master’s degree.
Sagay said Nigeria had continued to worsen under the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan despite the fact that he was the first doctorate degree holder to become the President of Nigeria.

“If I may add, how has the Ph.D of the President helped this country?” he said.

that is the real question

If I was Buhari, I'd show the world my certificate..it'll be on facebook, twitter, nairaland, everywhere..News papers, name it..

But this is what happened..

Buhari was taking care of his melu-melu when someone told him to join the military...and he joined like that without any certificate because as at that time he knew the 'oga @ d top' of blessed memory..

So I ask my self, if your foundation is corrupt, how do you intend to fight kwa-rap-shun??

#where is Buhari's certificate??

So IF he becomes president and we ask him to stop Boko-haram for instance, he won't respond abruptly to our request because it'll take away his valorous part??

Bros, unlike you, we are not all Melu-melu.

You know if it was GEJ that scammed his way to the top without certificate, we'd be having a different conversation..

Since you said Certificate has no relevance again in nigeria politics, there is no point continuing this discussion..

Melu-melu should vote their melu-melu, Nigerians will vote #OurGEJ.

Anticorruption:
like your master i guess

my master has native intelligence that can never be paralled by gej in any sphere- he has excelled in his field as a military man; his juniors and seniors can attest to this. Buhari went to war, fought to keep Nigeria united.
Tell me one particular area gej has excelled in his life. Point to one journal where gej's ph.d work was published. Show me his students, i mean those he taught at d college of education. You sound headless like u were once taught by gej.

Equivalent to what? APC take time O. APC should stop beating about the bush. Buhari is not qualified to rule this country. Buhari show us your passing six.
