PDP To Buhari: Tender Your WAEC Certificate At The Tribunal

PDP to Buhari: Tender your WAEC certificate at the tribunal

The
people’s democratic party has called out President Muhammadu Buhari to
tender his West African School Certificate(WASC) to the presidential
election petitions tribunal.

This is coming after, Festus Keyamo
who served as the official spokesman for the re-election bid of the
President said Buhari doesn’t need a WAEC certificate to be eligible to
contest in the February 2019 presidential election.

According to
the PDP, President Buhari should tender the WAEC certificate he claimed
he has to the presidential election petition tribunal instead of
allowing his campaign spokesperson, Festus Keyamo, to insult the
sensibility of Nigerians with lame attempt at diversionary tactics.

The
party also called on Nigerians to note that by claiming that an
aspirant does not need WAEC certificate, but the ability to speak
English to contest for the office of the President indicates that Buhari
Presidency, through Festus Keyamo, has finally admitted that President
Buhari does not have a WAEC certificate as he claimed in his INEC
resume.

A statement released and signed by PDP’s spokesman, Kola
Ologbondiyan read: ”The PDP says it is incompletely unacceptable for
President Buhari to swear to an affidavit to claim the educational
qualification he does not possess.

”An attempt to deceive the
public using a defective reading and skewed interpretation of a section
of the constitution cannot exonerate President Buhari.

“Moreover,
Section 295 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is very clear on
issues of interpretations and reference to questions of law.

“The PDP, therefore, maintains that the onus is on President Buhari, as ‘Mr. Integrity’ to tender the certificate he claims to possess before the tribunal instead of this lame diversion from Presidential aide.”
