We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials -army by nimsy(op): 2:26pm 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.

If this man is not careful, he'll lose more than his presidential bid.

Hmmmmm.....

Section 131(d) on educational qualification says

He has been educated up to at least school certificate level or its equivalent.

The army says

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.

There is a lacunae in this law and that is that the constitution doesn't expressly demand a certificate

The constitution didn't ask for a certificate. It only requires that a candidate has secondary school education which a certificate might help to prove but a recommendation from the principal of the school in 1961 will also prove the same thing which is that the student attended the secondary school and received education that qualifies him for a school certificate even if he didn't write the final exam.

Note:a certificate having F9 or A1 throughout will prove the same thing which is:the student had school cert level education.

That is what the constitution stipulated. A secondary school education and a letter of recommendation from a school principal proves it.

This is my own take on it and I trust I'm entitled to my own opinion. If you disagree, lay out your own points.

I can't just wait for Buhari to say 'I don't have the certificate' or 'this is my certificate...haters...can I have your votes?'

With the state and disparity of quota system in a education in Nigeria at the moment,at buhari's time it would have just been one way ticket for any northerner that can spell his/her name to get into any institution of choice in Nigeria.

Nigeria is ruled by fools and that is the obvious reason it is a backward country.
