Former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress in the 2015 general elections,
Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has told the
Independent National Electoral Commission that his
academic qualifications and credentials are with the
military.
This came to light on Monday when journalists visited
the headquarters of INEC in Abuja.
Unlike those of other presidential candidates, whose
academic qualifications were on display including
President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Buhari’s own were
conspicuously missing.
However, the development was better explained in an
affidavit the APC presidential candidate deposed to
before an Abuja High Court.
According to him, all his certificates were with the
Secretary, Military Board. The affidavit was dated
November 24, 2014 and was stamped and received by
INEC on December 18, 2014.
“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”,
Buhari stated.
