The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to the attestation
certificate presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by the West African
Examination Council, WAEC, on Friday.
The main opposition party said the presentation of the confirmation of school certificate result to Buhari was a “tragicomedy.”
WAEC, through its Registrar, Iyi Uwadiae, had on Friday issued the West Africa Examination Council certificate to the President.
Reacting to the development, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary ,
Kola Ologbodiyan, told journalists in Abuja that the party never
expected Buhari to come this low.
He said, “it is a tragicomedy. We never expected Mr. President to
dramatically come this low because you cannot have a certificate and be
calling it an attestation.
“What are they attesting to? We stand by our position that Mr. President has no school certificate.
“it is simply a political certificate. We have said that the Buhari
presidency and his handlers are always fretting at the mention of a
certificate.
“So, they want to mislead Nigerians to say that Mr. President has a school certificate
“if Mr. President has a certificate, why did he not use it in 2015
election? Why is the certificate suddenly emerging few months to the
election? And have you checked the photograph that was attached to the
certificate? In 1961, was it the requirement of WAEC to have a passport
attached to school certificate?
“Even in our own generation, was a condition in WAEC that you must
submit your passport to be attached to your certificate? They should
come off it. It’s too low.
“You remember they procured Martin Luther Award presented to our
president which later was discovered to be fake? This is a similar
award, a procured. We are waiting for the story of its declaration as
another procured document.”
