WAEC Ghana Office Clarifies its position on Buhari's Certificate saga in an advertorial in page 92 of today's Guardian Newspaper {10-02-15}.The Ghana National Office of WAEC released a press statement of the Certificate of General Buhari who is contesting at the Nigerian Presidential Election scheduled to hold on the 28th of March 2015.
A Civil Society organisation, MoveOn Nigeria had earlier written a letter to the Ghana regional office of WAEC. A response had been provided indicating that they did not have Buhari's records. MoveOn Nigeria had then gone ahead to claim that WAEC had denied the existence of Buhari's records.
The WAEC's Statement below refutes that claim and provides more Clarity
The attention of the Ghana National Office of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has been drawn to a publication which appeared on the front page of The Union newspaper edition of Thursday, January 29th 2015 under the above-statedClick to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
caption, and the interpretations given to it in the press and social media. Displayed in the publication where copies of the correspondence between WAEC Ghana and Moveon Nigeria, a civil society organisation based in Nigeria, concerning the
examination records of one "mohamed or Muhammadu Buhari" who we were informed was a candidate at Provincial secondary school, Katsina in the examination conducted by WAEC in 1961.
In View of the discussions generated by the publishing of our simple routing response to Moveon Nigeria, we feel constrained to provide clarification on the matter for the benefit of stakeholders and the general public in Nigeria. Though our response
that the certified true copy of the examination records of Mohamed Buhari could not be provided from the Ghana National Office was correct, it was not intended to indicate the existence or otherwise of the candidate's examination records, or to foreclose further search
by the enquirer at a more appropriate location within the council.
WAEC is a Sub-regional organisation estabilshed in 1952 with a tripartite mandate to identify the examinations required in the public interest in the English speaking west African countries, to conduct the examinations and to award
certificates of international standard to deserving candidates. Currently, there are five member countries of WAEC- The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. The Headquarters is in Ghana, but in each member country, including Ghana, the council has
established a Nationa Office that takes charge of its assets and operations in that particular country. Consequently, the Council's information storage and retrieval system is highly decentralised, as records of candidates who sat the council's examination in a particular
country are kept int he country's natinal office. A candidate's results may be confirmed or verified to any institution or body if WAEC is so requested in an application by the candidate, an institution or body.
In the case of Mohamed Buhari therefore, it was impossible for the Ghana National Office to make available certified true copy of his examination records, since his school or examination centre (provincial Secondary School, Katsina)
falls within the jurisdiction of the Nigeria National Office.
Following from the above, the Nigerian National Office is the appropriate National Office of WAEC to confirm of verify the examination records of Mohamed Buhari who is reported by MoveOn Nigeria to have sat WAEC examination at provincial Secondary School, Katsina in 1961

ReplyDeleteDey gave him b4 and dey would stil giv him again ko!
DeleteObanikoro was once an Ambassador to Ghana, his hand is in this. Is Buhari now a Ghanaian citizen. Is this why the election was shifted?
ReplyDeleteBuhari is in big trouble
ReplyDeleteIt is a big shame that buhari is still campaigning and worst still that some Nigerians are still supporting him.
ReplyDeletedo you really have any reason why he should not campaign!!! where is GEJ's thesis after all he swore under oat that he has it as far back as 2007.. these cases are in court. Everyday, the level of corrupation in GEJ's government emerges and stare at poor nigerians.
DeleteBuhar y u disgrace us lik dis na, u no say u no get result nd u want contest y u no even rush go miracle centre last year go do am sharp sharp. I beg u buhari no agry o na u go b our next presido by fire by force d constitution must b amended
ReplyDeleteIf WAEC in Nigeria cant tell us the truth about buhari's certificate, they stand to face legal battles from those whose results will be released to their employers.
ReplyDeleteBuhari!!!A must rull ruller with his islamic agender that he must rull.
ReplyDeleteI don‘t know what makes him not to contest as a governor in his own state oo..
This is nothing but a professional evil strategy to discredit GMB before 28 March election. All is fake information.
ReplyDeleteGod is superior above your henious plans. Sense of reason shall prevail soon.

ReplyDeleteU cant even write good english.. U dat claims to have d certificate.. U are more than a fool.. Bastard
Deletewhat are you saying now? why are you exposing your blunders to the whole world. Let even agreed that Buhari did not attend primary school, I know you will accept with me that he is far better than you intellectually. Please you need to work on yourself, your English is too poor.
DeleteAPC:Oga GMT, why u no tell us say u no get paper?
ReplyDeleteshebi u hear waiting even Ghana dey talk?
GMT: Walahi! i getam for faper, my frinsipal givam faper!
GMT: Geskia! Aqueh magana turinci!
Why GMT? U ar insulting our party, say APC
ReplyDeleteIf he eventually becomes our president, the world will know that our president is using forged result.
ReplyDeleteThis is why our country is backwards, instead of people to read the story, they will just read the heading and start spewing trash in their comments. The advertorial simply says that the Ghana Office cannot have the result of an exam written in Nigeria. Isnt that straightforward enough. It is obviously dubious in the first place, for MoveOn Nigeria, a known PDP organisation to have gone to make the enquiry from Ghana in the first place.
ReplyDeletetrue talk
DeleteTrue response, I don't understand why people just can read yet do not understand. Ghana office has explained it is not in any way liable to provide Buhari's SSC result since he took the exam in Nigeria.
DeleteDo you read the dailies at all? They body have actually asked Nigerian WEAC to produce Buhari's certificate but Nigerian weac says its only the candidate who sat for the exams can ask for his certificate.........Buhari wont ask for any certificate because non exist! use your brain to reason not your anus.
DeleteGhana is the overall heaquater. If buhari is sincere why cant he produce his waec certificate rather than indulge in perjury and forgery and lies.
ReplyDelete@Aloma Kings, u dnt have to wait till GMB becomes president b4 u decide on nt going to schl again cos wit d current administration, ur write up tells the story already (bad english)
ReplyDeleteMost peeps commenting re only judging the book by its cover with reading the contexts. Ghana said they can't provide Buhari's cert cos he dint write his exam in their country. Simply tells us u only get ur result in d country u wrote d exam.
If anyone here who wrote his/her waec exam in nigeria can go to ghana to collect the result without been referred back to nigeria to get it but if u can truly get it, then u can criticize
The fact is this, GMB and APC are telling us that it was Cambridge WASC GMB sat for and are making us believe the result sheet is in London. U and I knows too well that if GMB did write the exam and could remember his exam no, what stops him from approaching WAEC board in Nigeria to obtain another copy of his certificate which u and I knows is not a difficult task. The truth still remains that GMB enlisted in the army without a certificate as clearly spelt out by the military board.
DeleteTinubu knows what he is doing, should GMB win the election, they will through a proxy file a case in the court of law to disqualify him may be by then osibanjo must have resigned as VP paving way for Tinubu to become VP and eventually become president. This is my humble analysis.
MoveOnNigeria, why not just go to Yaba here in Nigeria? Why go that way to disgrace yourself in Ghana? It is on record that Buhari is still using his WASC-IN-VIEW that he used to enter the Army in 1961. Shame on Nigerians supporting this man.
ReplyDeleteNigerianeye ...... DiarisGodo....... Responsible journalism is dignity in labour.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world is irrelevant about the publication.... Make una dey check am o
I guess our journalists are either very illiterate or just being mischievious. Why this type of headline if this is contained in the body of the story?
ReplyDeleteIn the case of Mohamed Buhari therefore, it was impossible for the Ghana National Office to make available certified true copy of his examination records, since his school or examination centre (provincial Secondary School, Katsina)
falls within the jurisdiction of the Nigeria National Office.
Following from the above, the Nigerian National Office is the appropriate National Office of WAEC to confirm of verify the examination records of Mohamed Buhari who is reported by MoveOn Nigeria to have sat WAEC examination at provincial Secondary School, Katsina in 1961
In the name of FOI why not face the Cambridge Exams authority squarely.
ReplyDeleteIn the name of FOI why not face WAEC Nigeria Office.
Why go for all these diversions.
Why do some people make Nigerians look so silly, totally stupid and absolutely unintelligent.
Dia ris God ooooo.......
It‘s better to be governed by an illitrate that has the knowledge,wisdom,experience and with ability to manage human and resources of a country than to be ruled by an “educated illitrate“ a fool with a fake and “valueless“ phd. SHAME ON gej!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE READ COMMENTS MADE HERE WITH KIN INTEREST AND I JUST REALISED THAT QUITE A NUMBER WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THAT SIMPLE PRESS RELEASE BY WAEC HQ GHANA. IT OBVIOUS THAT MANY ARE SIMPLY LAZY TO READ LEARN AND REASON; THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE REASONS WHY THEY A GULLIBLE SUPPORTING THE MOST OUTRAGEOUSLY CORRUPT GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIANS HISTORY, GEJ LED GOVERNMENT. BUHARI IS A SYMBOL OF CHANGE, HE WILL BRING LIKE MINDS TO STAMP OUT GEJ AND HIS CORRUPTION LADEN COHORTS.
ReplyDeleteThe correct body which can vouch for Buhari's Certificate is the Cambridge University Local Examination Council who actually conducted the examination in 1961 and not WAEC.
ReplyDeleteSome people is only reading but not understanding what is all about illiterate PDP supporters “march for Buhari" either u like it or not
ReplyDeleteMach Buhari and crush him he is enamy of Nigeria democracy, an Islamic demon
