There have been many allegations recently that the APC, Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, doesn't have a school certificate.
However, he has finally broken his silence on that matter today, in an address released to the press a few hours ago.
Buhari categorically stated that he attended Provincial Secondary School, Katsina, where he obtained a Cambridge/West African School Certificate. The erstwhile head of state, said he has requested for a copy of the result from his old school, and once it is available, he would present it to the world.
According to him,
“I only consented to address you this morning because of the genuine concern expressed by many supporters and other well-meaning Nigerians that the issue be addressed. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it for what it is; ‘sheer mischief’, and would not have considered it an issue worth the nation’s while.”
“I had assumed all along that all my records were in the custody of the Military Secretary of the Nigerian Army. Much to my surprise, we are now told that although a record of the result is available, there are no copies of the certificates in my personal file."
"This is why I formally requested my old school the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina [which is now known as Government College, Katsina] to make available the school’s copy of the result of the Cambridge/West African School Certificate. This will be made available to the press the moment this is available.”
“However, before we obtain that, let me say for the record that I attended Provincial Secondary School, Katsina. I graduated in 1961 with many prominent Nigerians, including General Shehu Yar’adua, former chief of staff at the Supreme Headquarters, and Justice Umaru Abdullahi, a former President of the Court of Appeal.
We sat for the University of Cambridge/WASC Examination together in 1961, the year we graduated. My examination number was 8280002, and I passed the examination in the Second Division,”
Meanwhile, Buhari said the issue of a certificate he got 53 years ago shouldn't be an issue in the political campaign but that pertinent matters like the scandalous level of unemployment of millions of young people, the state of insecurity, the pervasive official corruption which has impoverished the nation and the lack of concern of the government for anything other than the retention of power at all costs.
