The Minister of Defence, General Aliyu Gusau, an­other schoolmate of General Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that the presidential candidate of the All Pro­gressives Congress in forthcoming February 14 election actually sat for and passed Cambridge/ WASC examination in 1961.

Gusau gave this affirmation in an interview he granted to an online medium, Green­barge Reporters.com.

He said: “You know that I’m not a politician but the truth needs to be told that I have known Buhari since 1960. He passed through the school that I also attended. He sat for his Cambridge/ WASC examination and came out with Division 2. He then joined the Army, rose to become Major General and Head of State.”




The Defence Minister spoke in response to the dust raised by the initial inability of Buhari to present his school certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commis­sion, INEC, thereby setting off a firestorm of disapprov­ing comments from a broad spectrum of Nigerians, even as many others stoutly rose to his defence over the matter.

Gusau wondered why the old students association of the school, had not promptly risen to defend Buhari over the al­legations.

“We had just formed an association of old students of Katsina Provincial School, right from when it was a Middle School till date. And His Royal Highness, the Emir of Katsina, who is an ex-student of the school, in­vited some of us as the rep­resentatives of different sets, to his palace and we decided to even form a secretariat. I thought that the secretariat of our association should have clarified the status of Bu­hari’s certificates long before it took this dimension, Gusau said.” He recalled that he met General Buhari in the Katsina Provincial Secondary School when he was enrolled into the School in January 1960, the year Nigeria gained Inde­pendence.

“General Buhari, at that time was in form five. I stayed two years with Gener­al Buhari at the school. They passed out in 1961 and we passed out in 1964. Buhari had leadership qualities since secondary school; in form five, he was a House Prefect.

“Their set went up to form six but we were the first set that finished school at form five. Normally, out of those in form five, the school au­thorities used to pick House Prefects and when they get to form six, House Captains were chosen from those who were House Prefects. In Bu­hari’s case, he was a House Prefect in 1960 when we  joined. By 1961, when he was in form six, he was cho­sen to be the Head Boy of the School.

“There were four Houses during our time in the school; Magaji House, Kaura House, Alkali House and Durbi House. Buhari was the House Prefect of Magaji House in 1960, Justice Umaru Abdul­lahi was the House Prefect of Alkali House, the late Mam­man A Zango, who became a policeman, was House Pre­fect of Kaura House while the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua was House Prefect of Durbi House. By 1961, all of them became the House Captains of their respective Houses but Buhari became the Head Boy.”

with this post, I'll be surprised if you consider yourself educated. Anyway, why should I even be surprised? Our PHD holder presido (and the likes of you) lack comprehension.

Our defence minister clearly is more interested in talking about Buhari's certificate while our Nation is at war!

He should kindly resign let others who care about our National Security mount the office of defence minister!

This should put an end to the whole saga.

We want the the WAEC confirmation and not all these noise from coconut heads like Buhari. .
