LAUGHABLE - Buhari Names Late Yar’adua As Class Mate by Nobody: 2:45pm On Jan 21, 2015

The candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in next month’s presidential
election, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, has
cleared the air on the controversy
surrounding his primary and secondary
school qualification.
Speaking to journalists at the Africa House,
beside the Kano State Government House in
the State capital, the Katsina-born politician
named late Gen Shehu Musa Yar’adua and a
former President of the Court of Appeal, Mr
Umar Abdullahi, as his classmates.
He however failed to tender his certificate
but noted that the school he attended, the
Provincial Secondary School, now known as
Government College, Katsina, will make
available a copy of the Cambridge West
African Scool Certificate, which will be made
available to the press.
General Buhari said he wrote the
examination with number 8200002 in the
Second Division.
He however noted that “although the ruling
party may want to wish this away, the issue
in this campaign cannot be my certificate
which I obtained 53 years ago. The issues
are the scandalous level of unemployment
of our young people, the state of insecurity,
the pervasive official corruption which has
impoverished our people and the lack of
concern of the government of anything other
than the retention of power at all costs”.
The Nigerian military had yesterday denied
being in possession of the WASC certificate
of the retired army officer, who rose to the
rank of Major General before becoming
Nigeria’s military ruler after the coup plot on
Mr Shehu Shagari’s regime in 1983.
