Presidential Election Petition Appeal:

The Burning Issues before the Supreme Court of Nigeria

Lying on Oath:

1. President Muhammadu Buhari deposed to an affidavit in 2014, and presented same to INEC in 2019, wherein he claimed that he attended Middle School, Katsina from 1953 to 1956.

The records of the National Archive in Kaduna shows that, Middle School was abolished in Northern Nigeria in 1953, so President Muhammadu Buhari lied in that affidavit.

2. In that same affidavit, President Buhari claimed that he obtained his primary school certificate in 1952.

This is also a lie. Primary school certificates were only issued upon completion of Middle School from 1948 to 1952 and not before.

3. President Buhari also claimed that he attended Elementary School Daura and Mai Aduaa between 1948 and 1952. However, those schools were not even in existence either in Katsina or in the entire Northern Nigeria between 1948 and 1952. How then could President Buhari have attended a non-existent school?

4. In that affidavit, President Buhari also swore on oath that he attended Katsina Provincial College between 1956 and 1961. It is also on record that Katsina Provincial College was neither built, founded nor even in existence between 1956 and 1961.

5. The President also claimed that he attended the United States War College in 1980 and obtained a Master's Degree.

This is also a lie. The U.S. War College has since debunked this and affirms that it only awarded diploma courses in the 80s. The college only started its Master’s program in the year 2000, long after President Buhari had left.

6. In conclusion, President Muhammadu Buhari who could present the certificates of the schools he mentioned above, swore in his affidavits that the credentials were "currently with the Secretary, Military Board” a statement he has failed repeatedly to prove at the court of appeal during the trial of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Perjury:

In view of the foregoing, President Buhari has committed an offense punishable by 14 years’ imprisonment.

[b]Section 117 of the Criminal Code reads thus:

”Any person who, in any judicial proceeding, or for the purpose of instituting any judicial proceeding, knowingly gives false testimony touching any matter which is material to any question then depending in that proceeding, or intended to be raised in that proceeding, is guilty of an offence, which is called perjury.

It is immaterial whether the testimony is given on oath or under any other sanction authorised by law.

The forms and ceremonies used in administering the oath or in otherwise binding the person giving the testimony to speak the truth are immaterial, if he assents to the forms and ceremonies actually used.

It is immaterial whether the false testimony is given orally or in writing. It is immaterial whether the court or tribunal is properly constituted, or is held in the proper place, or not, if it actually acts as a court or tribunal in the proceeding in which the testimony is given.

It is immaterial whether the person who gives the testimony is a competent witness or not, or whether the testimony is admissible in the proceeding or not.”

And Section 118 of the Criminal Code reads thus:

”Any person who commits perjury is liable to imprisonment for fourteen (14) years.

If the offender commits the offence in order to procure the conviction of another person for an offence punishable with death or with imprisonment for life, he is liable to imprisonment for life”[/b]

These are facts before the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Based on the above, President Buhari is not qualified as a Candidate of any political Party in an election and he cannot be credited with any votes whatsoever.

never mind perjury

this same Supreme court has on so many occassion disqualified people on providing wrong information on their INEC form CF001

I can not understand why a clear case of misleading info and false affidavit can not lead to disqualification
