We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials - Army by ceo4eva(op): 2:29pm On Jan 20, 2015
The Nigerian Army has said it is not in possession of the original or photocopies of the credentials of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

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.

Re: We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials - Army by egift(m):
Before you fall victim to PDP deceit. Here are the facts.

1. Buhari is duly qualified to be President of Nigeria (see his CV below)

2. The Original Copies of his credential were looted when his home was vandalized after the coming of IBB and Buhari's arrest.

3. Buhari in his education and training in Nigeria, India, United Kingdom and the United States has qualification equivalent to Masters Degree.

4. Buhari in the election and other subsequent outings has submitted a sworn affidavit which fully backed by law.

5. Buhari have not contravened any electoral law or the constitution in all he has done.

The law says if you don't think Buhari have sufficient credentials, go to court. Jonathan is the C-in-C he knows the truth. PDP are only barraging Nigerians with this issue to see if they can distract you and smuggle their 6yrs failure of Jonathan's administration.

Buhari is, and more than qualified. Don't fall victim of PDP's campaign of madness.

This Valentine, it is all about Nigeria - Sai Buhari.

Enough of all this. You don't have his credentials but you recruited him and he rose to the rank of a general before becoming the head of state.

Is this for real? It would be a major indictment!
But is it a crime to aspire for higher or equivalent certificates as the incumbent? At least university degree na or any higher institution weda polytechnic, COE and co? Kai! Why are some happy to regress and step lower all for "CHANGE"? Are we that desperate? Don't we have better in Nigeria? It's so sad that we have expended so many resources dragging O'level matter and most, if not all of us arguing on this forum have gone beyond clear and evident O'levels o! What about international perception and image? Don't we care about that? Diction and comportment? We can do better than GEJ and far better than GMB!

Re: We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials - Army by Nobody: 2:36pm On Jan 20, 2015
Buhari clearly said his credentials is with the Military board because it was the military that ransacked his residence and carted away with his properties in 1985. They should explain the whereabout of his documents. Thank God IBB is not dead yet.
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.
This will shut the doubting thomases mouth. They have seen letter of recommendation from his school principal... End of Chapter....

Re: We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials - Army by PassingShot(m): 2:44pm On Jan 20, 2015
The Nigerian Army is compromised and in a grand conspiracy against the General. Earlier, they acknowledged that they were in possession of copies of his certificates and other credentials but are now saying it's only the 1961 recommendation letter they have. Even if that's the case, it meant Buhari was duly recommended as was the practice and he enrolled and passed through the Military school So what is the fuss?

And we already know that Punch is the propaganda arm of PDP.

At the end of the day, they shall all be shamed.
Re: We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials - Army by Firefire(m):
Buhari shows to be a fraudster.

He get admitted to the Military with his school Principal's recommendation letter? Can we see the letter please?

IBB & Military raided his house in 1985 and made away with ALL his certificate? Because they know he will contest for election in 2015, 30 years after huh

Buhari under oat lied to the court that his certificates are with the military board when he could simply say " Certificate missing and could not be found"

Nigerians, beware of wolves that come in sheep's clothing.

Uh, barcanista, I'm sure you realise a letter from a Principal does not mean a student graduated from said school. I'm certain you're aware that a letter is no certificate and that means ab initio, he ought not to have been recruited on the strength of a mere letter only. You must also know that having his documents seized during d military era does not translate to having such documents nicely deposited with the Secretary of the Military Board!
I'm assuming u know all of these so it can't be that I'm giving u too much credit.
