So WHERE is it? Even if in some warped and myopic way, someone interprets the law to mean that he doesn't have to show proof why won't he accede to the requests of the people whom he preaches change to? The people whom he is appealing to for votes? With this level of supposed intelligence and academic excellence touted by some about GMB, one would think he'd know enough to keep a copy or copies of his certificates! Kai! The Military you seem to believe is too conscientious to promote without certificate cannot lose same conscientiousness on its record keeping now can it?

Descartes:
There is definitely something Buhari and the Military are not telling us.

Reptyle:
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!!!

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.

Details later…

My friend, no matter how strongly you feel about this issue, there's nothing you or PDP can do about it.why do you think PDP hasn't gone to court yet?? They know what you don't know which is that the case is DOA.

Section 131(d) of the constitution didn't ask for a certificate no matter how emotional you feel about it. It simply asks a candidate to have education of school cert level and the recommendation from his principal would have confirmed that and Section 318 explains what school cert equivalent means. Try and get a copy of the constitution to know.

Like I said, there's a reason why PDP hadn't sought the court option

santinoj:
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 ;-)

barcanista:
What indictment? I see no indictment but vindication. The army clearly admitted receipt of letter from his school principal. Abi no be who go school de get recommendation?
Also, buhari shifted his originals to the military because they ransacked his house and carted away with everything including toothpick in 1985.

I don''t know why this topic is still an issue let alone this thread getting to page ten. If not for the fact that it is dangerous if a lie is told long enough and not busted, I would have been worried why egift and barca are still entertaining TANoids.

The constitution is really clear. If pdp and her band of TAN viruses think GMB is not qualified, what stops them from going to court to stop him. It is only a PhD holder from PEJ high school that will hold on to this when an affidavit has been obtained from court.

Someone has pasted the section of the constitution, read it and understand. If you and your paymaster is still not qualified, you can hire Aondoakaa or any of the millions of hungry layers to argue your case in court.

Meanwhile, the mammoth crowd in Kano today inspires me to cherish and keep my PVC in a safe place for that LOVELY day feBUHARI 14
ALL progressive Nigerians, Show some LOVE with your PVCs

superstar3:
I dont understand the noise the PDP is creating out of Buhari's Certificate stuff...They forget that sambo too submitted an avidaffit claiming his certificates got burned.

Doyin2:
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 illiterate.I am shedding tears!

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 certificate in Srategic Studies.

With all these academic qualifications obtained by General Muhamadu Buhari, Buhari is not illiterate. He is highly educated.

It's now obvious that, Buhari enjoyed 'all' with the help of 'namu manu' not on merit.

CV is not certificate my btother,what Nigerians are asking is his certificate not CV

agabaI23:
Guy, I dey fear you. You are staring the truth the face and you are trying to twist it.
The letter from the school said he was fit for military. The press conference said you applied with his flsc and a letter with his principal. If he got a certificate, he would not need a letter. Probably he tried waec several times and could not get it so that the prinipal would think he would do well in the military.

Haba megida!!! Daris god ooo
