General Muhammadu Buhari
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
General Muhammadu Buhari, has reaffirmed that his academic records are
with the Army Secretary.
“All my records are in the custody of the Army Secretary. That is why I
am surprised to hear that they don’t have my records. I also attended
Cambridge University and my number is 8200002. I graduated with the
second grade,” he said.
Buhari, who was accompanied to the press briefing by his running mate,
Professor Yemi Osinbajo, said that he attended Katsina Provincial
Secondary School, now Government College Katsina, and graduated in 1961
along with the late General Shehu Musa ‘Yar Adua and the former
President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Umar Abdullahi.
He therefore debunked the impression given by the Nigerian Army that
his academic certificates were not in the record of the military.
In a three minutes statement he read to reporters at Kano Government
House, Wednesday, Buhari said the development was not worthy of any
reply, but he decided to make the statement just to clear the air over
the matter.
“Instead of them (PDP) to concentrate on the problems facing the
nation, such as scandalous level of unemployment, the devastating
insecurity plaguing the nation and other pressing issues, they resorted
to this…".
According to him, he just decided to make the statement because of the
concern expressed by his supporters and other well meaning Nigerians.
“Otherwise, I will just leave it to be what it is, that is mere mischief,” he explained.
