Buhari don't need to show anyone his WAEC certificate because he already have an sworn affidavits. Even the VP didn't produce his certificate to INEC because it got burn during a fire in his house. I don't think there is any need for argument on this issue. The simple thing INEC should do is to simply go and verify the certificates of aspirants like Buhari and the vice presidents who used sworn affidavits because of the lost of their original certificate. its very easy for INEC to get anybody record from WAEC because WAEC keeps record well. If its proven that Buhari or anybody lied in their Lol affidavits then they should be disqualified
You are a LIAR.

An affidavit sworn about a document is not a proof for that (missing) document cos an affidavit is you attesting b4 d court that you have the said document. And you cannot certify yourself by yourself even if you swore it in court (which is what an affidavit really is). But if proof is really needed then you would have to get a True Certified Copy of that document from the original ISSUING AUTHORITY who certified you in the 1st place.

That was what the Vice President did. He got ABU to certify that he attended that University after his documents got destroyed in a fire. And that is exactly what we expect Buhari to have done, not just swearing an affidavit that is even now proving to be false.

Very simple

Is it impossible to re-obtain certificate from WAEC?

That's the only question that matters
WAEC don't issue certificate twice. If you lost your certificate, you cant get another one.

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! cry

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 as a Fellow in Srategic Studies.

With all these academic qualifications obtained by General Muhamadu Buhari, Buhari is not an illiterate. He is highly educated.
Plzzz STOP spamming this forum with this your nonsense. There is no where in the Nigerian Constitution with these nonsense you just stated.

Buhari's case is just a tip of the iceberg of what is wrong with Nigeria. Many top officers in the Nigerian Army, Federal Ministries and etc. got their positions at the expense of more qualified colleagues via nepotism and quota system.

Can't buhari produce even a photocopy of his certificate? or even give details of his grades if every photocopy of his on earth was carted away by d military?
Or did d military cart away d memory of his grades too?
Re: We Don’t Have Buhari’s Credentials - Army by Nobody: 7:58pm On Jan 20, 2015
Buhari, like most Northerners during that period didn't enter the army with WAEC certificate because of the North's quest to "balance" the army which they thought was a stronghold of the Southerners, especially the Igbos.

Buhari, like IBB was in secondary when they were recruited, as long as you show interest, you just need your principal to sign you a document and you are in the army. Here is extract from IBB interview:

There was a drive to get students or people from this part of the country so as to balance the officer corps of the armed forces; so there was a deliberate drive to recruit officers from this part of the country and I was fortunate that the minister for the army happened to be from this part of the country. So one of his first recruitment drives was to come to our school; he talked to us and gave reasons why we should join the military. Then, we saw some demonstration by General Yakubu Gowon; he was a captain at that time, a lot of us got excited. We applied and were recruited
Buhari do not have a school certificate, however, I think he is qualified to run for presidential election owing to the fact that he was a head of state. I think it is time for Buhari to set the record straight and tell Nigerians the truth

Also, buhari shifted his originals to the military because they ransacked his house and carted away with everything including toothpick in 1985.
...

You say you want to fight corruption, but say "who cares" when corruption is looking right at you. Without his papers, he should never have been allowed in the military and would never have went to US, India, etc.

His entire career is built on a lie and you say "who cares".

Then you want people to take you seriously when you say APC will fight corruption. Don't make me laugh. When Tinubu is running APC, how will they fight corruption?

APC is just as corrupt as PDP. You fools continue to lie to yourselves.

You would have stayed longer displaying your fo0lishiness. I made a general comment that was not directed at anybody and posted my PVC. You came asking foolishly if I was registered. How will I get PVC without being of voting age and getting registered. It is like you that will ask for the 1st half score of a football match that ended goalless.

Buhari is eminently qualified to contest for the office of president of Nigeria from the courses attended. The style of the pdp is to attack Buhari's personality and fight dirty like one president of a foreign country did and retained his seat.
The mistake they are making is that nigeria has passed through some words like" stealing is not corruption, diarisgodooo, chibok $20bn, occupy nigeria, Bokoharam, fani kayode, Buruji kashamu, governors forum, tambuwal teargas and gate of house of reps, patience as Jesus Christ, Stella Oduah, Madueke, Oritsejiofor$armsjet, good roads causes accident. The list is endless.
That style will not work.
