I Wrote WASC With Buhari, Others – Justice Abdullahi by Nobody: 9:20pm On Jan 22, 2015
Elder statesman, Justice Umaru Abdullahi, who served as President of Nigeria’s Court of Appeal between 1999 and 2009, on Wednesday revealed that he sat for the West African School Certificate exams in 1961 alongside the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari.

The 75-year old Justice Abdullahi told Leadership newspapers that he and a few other prominent Nigerians were Buhari’s classmates at the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina (now Government College, Katsina) and that the APC candidate was among the most brilliant students then.

The retired judge said “I, Buhari and some others had the best results during our final examinations in secondary school back then,” and described Buhari as “a very brilliant student in school, no doubt; we attended the same school from primary to secondary school.”

The newspaper also checked with a retired Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Coomasie, who affirmed
that the former Head of State attended and graduated from Katsina Provincial College.

Coomassie was quoted as saying, “While we were in school, Buhari was the Head Boy. He loved playing football.

We were all close friends in school. After we finished secondary school, General Buhari decided to join the military, I joined the police and Justice Abdullahi decided to go to the university.”

He disclosed that himself along with “the late Shehu Yar’Adua, the late Halilu, a Grand Khadi in Katsina, Senator Abdul Ali, a Senator in the 2nd Republic and several others attended the same school.”

This disclosure by Abdullahi and Coomassie was in response to the heated controversy surrounding
Buhari’s academic credential. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had accused the APC presidential flag bearer of not possessing the requisite academic qualification to contest the election.

Justice Abdullah has done well in defence of his kinsman but my questions are :

How does writing examination with Buhari translate into certificate? What if Buhari failed?

Does the justice still have his certificate with him or are his certificate with ministry of justice?

Is it lawful to lie under oath?

Do you now accept that they sat for the examintion? Is the examination not a validation of education up to school certificate level?
