At least they admitted that Buhari attended secondary school, and he didn't skip school like those TANists had wished...





Pooooor TANists

nobody is sayin he skipd skool...he mite nt finish...so he is nt qualified until proven other wise

lookmangiw:
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.

"Quota System" it is called!

Since some people have chosen to remain daft,here is the constitutional requirements again:

Section 318 of the constitution

"School Certificate or its equivalent" means

(a) a Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or
(b) education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or
(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and -
(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and
(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totalling up to a minimum of one year, and
(iii) the ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and
(d) any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission;

Section 31 of the electoral act is also very clear:

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.
(2) The list or information submitted by each candidate shall be accompanied
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


INEC has accepted what Buhari has presented.Mischief makers should go to court or commit suicide!

ADDENDUM:

Up till this moment, entry into the Armed Forces in Nigeria is still based on Quota System/Federal Character. As at 1962 when Muhamadu Buhari enlisted in the Nigerian Military Training College, Kaduna, the pre-requisite qualification was attendance and passing out from a Secondary School. All what were required then were a Testimonial and Recommendation from the School.
Buhari attended the Nigerian Military Training College, Kaduna, now renamed Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), now equivalent of a University in Nigeria. From 1962 to 1963, he underwent Officer Cadets training at Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot in England. From Nov. 1963 to Jan.1964, Muhamadu Buhari attended the Platoon Commanders' Course at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna. Also in 1964, Buhari attended the Mechanical Transport Officers' Course at the Army Mechanical Transport School in Bordon, United Kingdom. Muhamadu Buhari attended the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, India in 1973.
From 1979 to 1980, Colonel Muhamadu Buhari attended the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, U.S.A and graduated with a Master's Degree in Srategic Studies.
With all these academic qualifications obtained by General Muhamadu Buhari, Buhari is not an illiterate. He is highly educated.

You are the daft one here. Can we see a photocopy of what you stated above?

Is it not obvious he got into the military via his principal's recommendation(Quota system), not able to pass WASC?

All these privilleges these northerners enjoyed then,without proper qualification.
Buhari should present a certificate,a letter of recommendation isn't equivalent to it.

Raiders:
why are you contradicting yourself? your first sentenced stated that Buhari never passed his WAEC while your second statement stated that Buhari didn't finish secondary school. how can Buhari write his WAEC and yet not finish secondary school? The election act did not state that one must have 5 credits to be eligible for the presidential elections. As long as he wrote waec he is eligible.

What is confusing you there:

As at d time the letter was written BUHARI had not finished school according to the principal hence the need for d letter.

Later on, when Buhari was asked to fill a form he started he only had 4creits and a Pass, hence he didn't even pass with required 50credits when he eventually finished.

Any other thing....

Buhari don suffer today.
The old man should have just retired to his Daura and acted like a sage or elder statesman with the little dignity he had left; but his desperation for power is about to open the most embarrassing chapter in his life.

What a pity!

rusher14:
For clarity, How many credits or A's imply a school certificate?

Not that I am interested in back and forth but PASSING WAEC exams with 5 Credits is different from HAVING a WAEC certificate. WAEC certificate is not Secondary School Certificate of attendance. I have both actually, so I know the contents.

The problem here is Buhari has sworn to an affidavit with INEC that the information filled out in his form with INEC were true. Part of what is meant to be true is that the clearly stated qualification in the INEC displayed documents was WAEC. The question is this, does Buhari has WAEC certificate as he claimed to have? Forget Punch's abridged reportage, probably out of bias. See a section of the statement below:

Records available indicate that Major General M Buhari applied to join the military as a Form Six student of the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina on 18 Oct 61. His application was duly endorsed by the Principal of the school, who also wrote a report on him and recommended him to be suitable for military commission. It is a practice in the NA that before candidates are shortlisted for commissioning into the officers’ cadre of the Service, the Selection Board verifies the original copies of credentials that are presented. However, there is no available record to show that this process was followed in the 1960s. Nevertheless, the entry made on the NA Form 199A at the point of documentation after commission as an officer[b] indicated that the former Head of State obtained the West African School Certificate (WASC) in 1961 with credits in relevant subjects: English Language, Geography, History, Health Science, Hausa and a pass in English Literature. Neither the original copy, Certified True Copy (CTC) nor statement of result of Major General M Buhari’s WASC result is in his personal file.[/b]
I hope this explanation will put to rest the raging controversy surrounding the secondary school credentials of Major General Mohammed
Buhari as it affects the Nigerian Army.
http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/military-says-buharis-credentials/

In fact, someone in the Press Conference told me that The Army spokesman passed around a letter from his school principal in 1961 telling the Army that he believes that Buhari CAN pass some subjects. It is there in black and white.

theV0ice:
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.

so wat u are sayin now is..if i leave skool now as a 200l student..i can use a letter frm my V.C to get a Job in shell! ope o...Naija don beta

Letter from a principal without result? The apex of tribalism and nepotism

egift:
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.

then y did he lie ?

kenny987:
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.

so the military now promotes without evidence of certificate,go ask a military personnel before u start ranting,am neither PDP or APC but I think u know nothing about the Force.

Honestly, I thought every institution reserves a copy of certificates issued to their students! And I believe the army is very disciplined n organized as per record keeping! He by himself referred to d military board! So Y will they evr deny a general at very crucial time like this? Unless he has no academic certificates with them

Concerning the schools, "attended" or completed/graduated? That's the question.

barcanista:
My dear, which principal will write letter of attestation for a student that didn't graduate? This is pure common sense. The electoral act is asking whether or not a candidate is educated up to secondary school level. The letter from the principal Seal the Deal...
Buhari never said he "deposited" his document with the Military, he said it is with them. They toook it illegally, they should explain Better

an hausa man wil rite a letter for his cow to work for shell nt to talk buhari...letter frm d principal U guys are funny gan

1)buhari has no proof or whatsoever that the military ransacked his house and looted his property.
It could be anybody.
2),If he truely pass waec as he claimed why can't he visit waec office to collect his cert na?...
Buhari should save himself the trouble and present what required of him.

ze fiful's general wirl be zere lipe to zebate ze
situashan of ze kworupshan in ze kwontri

In civilised countries,people do not call their Generals illiterate,they respect them.In US,a career in the military is as prestigious as any other career in the world,including those requiring PhDs.

But in my country,somebody is calling a whole General that put his life on line so that Nigeria could remain one, an illeterate.I am shedding tears!

barcanista:
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.
This will shut the doubting thomases mouth. They have seen letter of recommendation from his school principal... End of Chapter....

Next!!!!

Did Buhari request of his certificate when he visited IBB last week.

manutdadex:
so wat u are sayin now is..if i leave skool now as a 200l student..i can use a letter frm my V.C to get a Job in shell! ope o...Naija don beta

The issue is with the military board. If they feel the man satisfied their entry requirements, there's nothing anybody can do about it.

If PDP feels hard done by, they know where the court is

EnigmAries:
Ever heard of Attestation Letter? In addition to your certificate, you must collect it from your school back then. You really do not think Buhari was offered admission into the Mons Officer Cadet School in the United Kingdom; and the Army War College in the United States with just letters from the Military do you?

My point exactly. In addition to a certificate, an attestation letter is given. I did mention that in one of my earlier posts. Now, the 'attestation letter' and no more is out. The burning question remains, where is the certificate? The letter was placed on something, where is the thing it was placed on? Where is evidence that a proper foundation was laid before the laying on of all other 'qualifications'?

jacksparrow1207:
We know your Buhari went to school, but can he pls, pls and pls present copies of his certificates? Is that too much to ask for?

He does not have his certificates.

That was what he stated in the affidavit he swore to and submitted in lieu of his certificates.

Since you claim you believe he is educated, why do you continue to insist he present document which he ab initio had stated he did not have

There is really no need for this Catch 22 situation some people are trying to create here.

If his statement is not satisfactory to you, you have the right as a citizen to go to court to compel INEC to disqualify him....as long as you can convince the courts that not having his original or bromide copy of his certificate is enough grounds to disqualify him.

Otherwise, we need to stop this pointless and somewhat obtuse back and forth on this matter.

Buhari does not have his certificates but he feels he is eminently qualified to run. INEC who is the regulator, agrees with him and has duly recognised him as such.

Right now, God willing, only the courts can stop him from contesting...period!!!

taharqa:
What is confusing you there:

As at d time the letter was written BUHARI had not finished school according to the principal hence the need for d letter.

Later on, when Buhari was asked to fill a form he started he only had 4creits and a Pass, hence he didn't even pass with required 50credits when he eventually finished.

Any other thing....

well, he claimed he has has waec with 4 credit and a pass. why don't INEC do the right thing by verifying the certificates of all the presidential aspirants. This whole waec certificate saga shouldnt even be an issue because its easy to get anybody waec records by simplying applying to waec for it.

PassingShot:
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.

c ur life. When did recommendation become certificate

So your own certificate is with google abi?? Well done

Doyin2:
What a hooey!

Do we know what perjury is?

The same military that confirmed that they have his documents,is now supposedly saying something different? Can't we read between the lines that they've been compromised?

Are you also not aware that the same military under IBB ransacked GMB's house and went away with his documents?You need to do more research,Google is your friend?Would that not suggest that apart from copies in his file,that they also have his originals?

CERT OR NO CERT FEBUHARI

Permit me to ask a very logical question to all of you intellectuals and rather than start biting and chewing me to bits, answer it or ignore.

Do you in your right minds have the slightest belief that if Buhari was not qualified or let me put it in your English, does not have a certificate, the PDP with all its brilliant and powerful people wouldn't have dragged his sorry ass to court since early December when he emerged the APC candidate?

They sold you guys a dummy to take your mind of the reality and funnily enough you happily dance to their tune everyday :-)

BE REALISTIC and find better facts to argue upon and stop wasting your time because in all honesty whether una accept or not, na better campaign una dey do for Buhari. More grease to your fingers and not elbows as this case may be :-)

You guys can start biting away because I know that's what's next :-) BUT that's my two cents ;-)

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.

IBB coup was in 1985 and is that the reason why he did not present copy to the military when he was admitted or enrolled in 1961?
