Hours ago, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released its provincial list of candidates for presidential and national assembly elections and the likes of President Muhammadu Buhari (APC), Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Obadiahia of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Donald Duke of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Olusegun Mimiko of Zenith Labour Party(ZLP) among others were on the list of presidential candidates.
submit his credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as the various presidential candidates’ credentials were made available to reporters in Abuja on Thursday.
Buhari only submitted an affidavit which read, “I am the above-named person and the deponent of this affidavit herein. All my academic qualification documents as filled in my Presidential form, APC/001/2015 are currently with the Secretary of the Military Board as of the time of this affidavit.”
Of course, the action has sparked different reactions from Nigerians on Social media questioning why Buhari could not get his original WAEC certificate from Military.
Here are some reactions on social media:
@Yemifash ” Buhari did not tender any academic record to become President, INEC conspired with APC to install a WAEC-LESS President. The whole world must see this, don’t stop retweeting. ”
@Dun1214 ” This guy, Is he not the c-in-c now. So he cannot order them to produce it?
@RealAliyuyusuf “Leadership has nothing to do with certificate. Let’s no use this as a means of a campaign, that would be too cheap. Its high time we come together to make Nigeria work again.”
@Pearlss “How do u expect him to give what is not in existence? Simple !he does not have it.He commands all commandables in Nigeria and can’t get hold of his WAEC papers? Vital one at that? Please!!!
@Okpakolaw “It surprises me how INEC had always qualified him for elections on affidavit alone. Where are the Certified True Copies! I hope that INEC will be bold enough to request for CTC and not rely on self-recognition.”
@Dominic_ugo “WAEC certificate is not important. Have you not heard that Buhari recently bagged a Masters degree in Strategic Lifelessness from University of “white house, his Thesis titled how to destroy Nigeria economy was personally supervised by Donald Trump.”
@ShettimaNIS “Leadership has nothing to do with academic excellence, gentleman next time be more objective, he is the savior Nigeria ever had, May God save your people from you.”
@Abatanbabtundde “My father was a retired Major though late now but if u ask me of any of his certificates, within 2hrs I will produce all the original certificates. My father served the same Nigeria Army that clueless Buhari served.”
@Edmundobiri “It is very obvious that some are actually fully above the law.To get a normal desk job in this country, if you don’t produce your WAEC result, you can forget about it. But a whole “president” cannot even give us his own.”
@brave_miracle “INEC should stop him from contesting if they truly know their job.”
@Ojebutudollar “Yet he wants to prosecute Ademola Adeleke who tendered his despite that he didn’t pass his papers. Buharists only forge theirs, They are certificate forgers and have nothing to tender. What a scammer Government and President!
