And so! Everyone has a past, i love him even more for overcoming such hurdle to emerge one of the top 20 political bigweight in nigeria. Today he can afford to build private universities if he wants. And the world acclaimed noble literate wole soyinka is his bossom man at his beck and call(not forgetting wole graduated with same result) i mean what else could he have wished for. The guy once silenced ffk when ffk was calling him a once poor man. Ameachi told him that in the normal society people see him and say that is andrew rotimi son. But it got to a stage when people now started saying look that is rotimi amechi father. He asked ffk if he could boast of same

Proud of Tinubu's achievement! It's even more resounding reading his history and how he started in Chicago recruited right on graduation, remaining on the Deans list throughout and being hired by the consulting company that eventually sent him to work for the oil giant Saudi Aramco. Eventually events brought him to Nigeria, working on Mobil Nigeria and rising to the position of Treasurer.

Very impressive!

Meanwhile some haters from the hate filled region are still rudderless and hating!

please can you post the link to this info? thanks

When APC was campaigning, PDP was preoccupied looking & searching for Buhari's WAEC result. Now that d result is out, i think they can now see dat he passed at distinction level in all d subjects. Dis is a lesson. D bible says, when Leah was mocked & hated, God remembered her & opened her womb(Gen29:31). Just b focused because those that are looking & searching for ur downfall because

====
STRATEGIC PLAN OF ACTION ON
POLL SWINGING FOR
PRESIDENT JONATHAN
Should it become practically
impossible to stop the March 28
Presidential Elections, the PDP shall
have no choice but to fall back on a
strategic master plan that will
ensure that votes are swinged in its
favour in some carefully selected
states in he six geopolitical zones.
We have done an extensive survey
of the states taking into
consideration nearly all the key
factors and interplay of forces that
could determine the outcome of
Election in the zones.
. NORTH WEST ZONE (NW)
APC is very strong in virtually all the
states in the North West. However,
our studies have also revealed that
the PDP has opportunities to swing
the votes in three of the six states
that n1ake up the North West. The
three states are, Sokoto, Kaduna,
and· Kebbi. We suggest that heavy
deployment of military and other
security personnel be made in these
three states with specific instruction
to cooperate with the PDP.
Identify INEC officials and other
party agents including those of the
APC for huge financial inducements
to swing votes for PDP.
. NORTH EAST (NE)
With the exception of Gombe and
partly Adamawa States where the
PDP is expected to make some
significant impact, the other four
states are keen supporters of the
APC presidential candidate. But we
have also noticed that the PDP has
an opportunity of swinging votes in
Taraba, Gombe and Yobe states to
boost the chances of Mr. President.
We are recommending similar
strategy to be adopted in the
selected states in the North West for
the North East as well. In addition
however, the PDP must be extremely
cautious not to rake in excess votes
that could easily lead to suspicions
given the prevailing security
situation in the area.
What is being suggested here is that
vote swing in these zones should
match relatively with the expected
low voter turn out in the zone so as
not to create credibility problem ab-
initio for the officials and personnel
who will be engaged for the
exercise.
Key government officials should also
be deployed in this direction for
strategic reasons.
. NORTH CENTRAL (NC)
The PDP should target Kwara, Kogi,
Benue and Nassarawa states. Our
studies have shown that the zone is
traditionally a PDP zone but
presently the APC has made very
serious inroad in such a manner that
the PDP’s strength has diminished
significantly in the zone.
However, owing to the large
followership that PDP still enjoys in
Kogi, Benue, Nasarawa and the
Northern part of Kwara State there
is a window of opportunity to swing
the votes. This can be achieved by
deploying huge military personnel
and enough financial inducements
to INEC officials and party agents.
It is expected that the zone will
record very large voter turnout
during the presidential Elections
which lives the PDP with a good
opportunity of swinging relatively
large percentage of the votes for
President Jonathan.
. SOUTH WEST (SW)
This zone is the most difficult and
delicate to deal with. Because of the
high level of enlightenment and
political education among the
people1 vote swinging here may be
a little tough for the PDP, but not
impossible.
It is clear that the North West and
South West share a lot in common
in both population and support for
the APC. However, the PDP will
have to confront the challenge with
iron cast resolve to swing the poll in
at feast four states in the South
West. These are Ekiti, Ondo, Lagos
and Oyo. For these states, monetary
or financial inducement may not
produce expected results. Our
studies have shown that both INEC
officials and party· agents in most of
the South
Western states do not easily
succumb to monetary inducements.
The Electorate in this part of the
country are known for their hot
headedness and are ever alert to
moves being made by Election
officials and ·the security agents -at
Election times. They hardly give
room for officials to manipulate the
process.
To achieve the swing therefore will
require a great deal of resolve on
the part of that PDP to confront this
big challenge. We are
recon1mending that military
presence should be established on a
very high scale in the identified
states on the Election Day. It may
also be useful to profile son1e of
the key leaders of the APC in these
states a few days to the election for
attempted’ acts of instigating
violence and intimidation of PDP
candidates and supporters.
The idea here is to enable the police
and other security agencies invite
these official for safe keeping in
their custody until election are done
with. We have realized that the close
networking between APC officials
and their field officers. Agents at
election time have often prevented
Election Officials and the security
from tampering with results or
doing anything to favour the
opposition. We recommend that
everything must be done to break or
weaken this network so as to live
some window of opportunity for the
vote swinging strategy to be
implemented. The Minister of Police
Affairs should be actively on duty in
these states to oversee the
implementation of this plan.
We are also suggesting that the
Nigeria Communication
Commission, NCC should be
involved at the level of interfering
with the communication gadgets of
all known APC bigwigs in the South
West 24hrs before and after the
Presidential Election so as to break
or weaken the network between
them and their field officers for the
election period .
Restriction of top level APC officials
is very necessary. Concerted effort
rnust be made to work on the
statistics of Oyo and Lagos states
and local governments that attracts
heavy votes.
. SOUTH – SOUTH (SS)
The PDP should move into Rivers,
Edo and Akvva Ibom with huge
rnilitary deployment. It is not
expected that Election in this key
states will be without incidents.
Giving the iron cast determination
of Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers
and Adams Oshiomole of Edo to
deliver their states to the
APC Presidential candidate.
In addition to military deployment,
the headship of INEC officials could
also be compromised with huge
financial inducements. It may also
be useful to enlist the services of
son1e Ex-militants whose jobs
basically will be to instill fear and
intimidation into non PDP
promoters and supporters in order to
create or enhance the window of
opportunity to swing the votes for
PDP. Divide and rule tactics should
be deployed in these states for
desired result.
SOUTH EAST (SE)
This is the easiest of zones for the
PDP. What we have found here is
that the APC though has a good
presence, does not really constitute
major threat to
PDP. Vote swinging in this zone will
be at the pleasure of PDP, that is if
the party finds the need to do so.
Apart from states like Imo and,
Ebonyi the
APC is very unlikely to do well at
the presidential poll in this zone.
However, in order not to take things
for granted, some light military
presence and security personnel may
be in order. Here, the PDP is not
required to put much financial
resource on election officials and
party agents for the obvious reason
that its chances of winning the
presidential elections here are not
under any treat whatsoever. The
Propaganda that profiles APC
standard bearer as an Islamic
extremist has stuck on the
opposition candidate like super glue
and there is little they can do to
change the perception of the
average Igbo man about Gen.
Buhari.
ADDENDUM
It is instructive to reiterate that the
vote swing strategy as
recommended for the zones is
without prejudice to the sole
objective of winning the election at
all cost. The party should decide
whether it is ready to win the polls
using all the means and resources
available to it and prepare for the
legal battle to follow, or allow itself
to be defeated and head for the
courts as the underdog.
With Elections in Nigeria, experience
has shown that is it better to fight
from the position of strength. The
idea of struggling in court after a
defeat should not be contemplated
at all. For it will be a share waste of
time. The poll swinging strategy is
aimed at harvesting between thirty
to thirty four million votes for the
PDP presidential candidate across
twenty-eight states of the
Federation including the FCT.
On the basis of the zones, officials
who will implement this strategy
must ensure that the presidential
candidate collect at least between
six and seven million votes each in
the South-South, South East and
North Central totaling 21 million.
And for the South West the plan
targets at least six million votes,
North East 4 million, and Northern
East 3 million votes.
South – South – 6 million votes
South- East – 7 million votes
North Central – 6 million votes
South West – 6 million votes
North West – 4 million votes
North East – 3 million votes
FCT – 1 million votes
Grand Total = 23 million votes
Contacts at INEC reliably informed
our team that the target voter
turnout overall nationwide is not
expected to exceeded 50 million out
of which it is projected that about 1
million votes may be voided.
EXECUTION PLAN
For effective implementation of this
strategy we recommend that a
tactical team of about one thousand
men and women be constituted to
be deployed to states. Owing to the
very complex nature of this exercise,
we suggest that each zone should
present at least one Hundred people
for this exercise.
They are to undergo induction
course on the process of vote
swinging at the discrete location.
The PDP should as a matter of
necessity set up a control room
within a safe location at the FCT
where the activities of all poll
swinging officers can be effectively
monitored. All officers involved in
this exercise should be advised to
use only text message when
contacting the control room.
Tools needed for this exercise
include the following.
Procurement of Ballot boxes
We have recommended the
procurement of about fifty thousand
ballot boxes ahead of the general
elections to be distributed amongst
the identified states in the North-
West and the Norti)-East. We also
recommend the procurement of
ballot paper to be thumb-printed in
favour of President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Hostile States
Apart from states like Benue,
Plateau, Kogi and Nasarawa, the
remaining fifteen states in the North
are to be treated as hostile to its
presidential candidate for this
elections. The six south-western
states have also been classified as
hostile states however the PDP may
record a marginal win in
Ondo over the APC in the
Presidential Elections. In the South-
South Edo and Rivers have been
singled out for special shock
treatment reserved for similar hostile
states in all the other zones in the
North and South-West.
The South-East is generally regarded
as the most friendly zone for the
party with adequate measures to
ensure that elections results are
protected.
Ad-hoc Staff for INEC
We have recommended the
recruitment of about five hundred
staff for INEC who will be under
strict instruction to work for the
ruling party in this general election.
Most of the Ad-Hoc staff are to be
deployed in so called hostile states
to enable the party, execute its
plans of n1anipulating the electoral
process there.
ELECTION OBSERVATION
We have recommended that some
election · observers and NGOs both
foreign and local are to be heavily
induced to work for the PDP in this
elections. It is specifically
recommended that 25% of the
monies collected at the fund raising
dinner be set aside for this purpose.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
A committee comprising members of
the strategist, the DSS, Police, Civil
Defence, INEC and the Army is to
be set up within the next two weeks
to see to the effective
implementation of the
recommended strategies.
It is important to note that funds
should be released to all key
officials and groups 48 hrs to the
Election date to allow full
concentration on the job.

he never lie,obj even confirm it,that when d matter came up in 2007,they found out,d certificate were with d military board,so overnight d saTANiod went to remove it from his file.no weapon form against buhari shall prosper.

He never even claimed to have a certificate in the first place, i wonder where they manufactured that from.
This is th exact quote from the affidavit that was submitted to inec

“I am
the above-named person and
deponent to this affidavit therein. All
my academic qualifications
documents as filled in my
presidential form, President
APC/001/2015, are currently with the
Secretary, Military Board, as of the
time of presenting this affidavit.
“The affidavit is made in good faith
and for record purpose. The affidavit
is made in good faith and for record
purposes.” http://dailypost.ng/2014/12/30/not-submit-certificates-inec-buhari/

PointB:
You may not, but several people do care.

When you come to equity, you must come with clean hands! Buhari claimed he has certificate, for sake of his integrity, he should provide it.

Actually, his knowledge and intelligence has a lot to do with what that old piece of paper says. That paper has made or mar several people's live in Nigeria. If Buhari had 'forged' that small piece of paper to gain unfair advantage, it invariably convenes more importance on the paper! If it weren't important, he wouldn't have claimed to have it in the first place.

Talking of intelligence, did you see the sort of subject Buhari passed and failed? For crying out loud, what kind of person failed secondary school work work, when he's not even good at maths? What does that say for the intelligence of such individual?

If Nigeria's problem cannot be solved by someone who possesses PHD, what can someone with a 'dodgy' WASC do? You can't give what you don't have!

buhari never said he has his certificate where did you get that from?

The people`s general, this FeBuhari 14 we shall show you our love.

Following recent widespread smear
campaigns against the presidential
candidate of the All Progressive
Congress (APC), General Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd), over his education,
training and qualifications,
SaharaReporters has unearthed a
letter written by the United States
Army War College, Pennsylvania
praising Buhari’s intelligence and
brilliance throughout his stint as a
fellow at the prestigious military
academy.The letter obtained from a source
within the Nigerian military shows
that Buhari attended and graduated
from the College with the Class of
1980 on June 9 of that year.
In a letter dated 13 June 1980 and
addressed to then Chief of Defense
Staff, General Alani Akinrinade, the
Commandant of the War College,
Major-General DeWitt C. Smith Jr
described Buhari as “a most
distinguished International Fellow”
who graduated with the Class of
1980. Lieutenant General, DeWitt C.
Smith, Jr, was the longest-serving
commandant of the U.S. Army War
College, he died in 2005 at the age
of 84.
He also informed that while the
College has no Class Standings in its
grading system, “it should be pointed
out that his performance was
outstanding in every respect.”
During the ten-month course which
was divided into the ‘Common
Overview’ and ‘Advanced Courses’,
Buhari took the prescribed courses,
audited three other courses, and took
it upon himself to visit US Army
facilities in furtherance of his
personal professional understanding
of logistics management.
The letter gave profound
commendations of Buhari for being
“a man of extraordinary aptitude who
demonstrated a broad knowledge of
current international problems. His
keen interest, sense of responsibility
and solid grasp of the strategic
implications of the important global
issues marked him as a key member
of any student seminar. Infact, he
was at his best in the “give and take”
environment of our seminar group
discussions where students are
encouraged to express their views
even though they differ from the
group consensus.”
The former Nigerian military ruler
turned civil democrat was also
credited for his thorough
understanding of the major issues in
American and global affairs as a
result of his “obvious research and
analytical facilities far exceeding the
majority of his contemporaries.”
Buhari, the War College Commandant
continued, also towered over and
above his colleagues in written
aspects of the Course Work. “his
written efforts were “first-rate” and
noted for their outstanding quality of
research, logic and communications
skills. Brigadier Buhari’s oral
presentations consistently reflected
those gifts of mind and hearing
which are essential in command or
group endeavours. His individual
presentations were of exceptional
value in that he avoided vague
generalities and focused on the issues
which involved hard, detailed
choices.”
Among his class mates, Buhari was
described as having the remarkable
ability to deal with wide range of
issues, no matter their complexities,
simultaneously. He also displayed an
outstanding “political sensitivity and
intimate knowledge of current
political-military problems.” He was a
key motivator among his course
mates as he was able “to effectively
contrast his own Army’s command
and management philosophies and
practices with the United States
Army’s in such a way as to be
beneficial and educational to all.” He
was admired and respected by his
colleagues.
Buhari was equally an active
participant in extra-curricular
activities; he was the Assistant Coach
of a junior level soccer team in the
local community. Besides,
“Muhammadu, his lovely wife
Safinatu, and his young family were
actively involved in the social life of
the College and were a credit to
Nigeria.” The Commandant concluded
the letter with strong
recommendations of Buhari for his
exceptional potentials that qualify
him to be worthy of the trust of the
Nigerian Army and Government.
Following his emergence as the
Presidential Candidate of the
opposition All Progressive Congress
(APC) in a presidential primary that
was widely acclaimed as most
democratically transparent, General
Buhari’s educational training and
credentials had been queried in
public by key members of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). It
was speculated that he had no
requisite qualifications for the office
of President and Commander-in-Chief
of the Armed Forces of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. The Nigerian
Army authorities also joined the fray
by claiming it was not in possession
of Buhari’s certificates.
