The All Progressives Congress,
APC has said President Muhammadu Buhari does not need to submit his WAEC
certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC ahead of the
2019 election.
The National Publicity Secretary
of the ruling party, Lanre Isa-Onilu stated this on Friday, explaining that
INEC had never expressed doubt about the claim made by President Buhari in the
affidavit attached to his personal particulars submitted to the electoral body
that his original WASC certificate was with the Military Board.
Speaking with the Tribune, APC
Spokesman said: “We don’t need to submit to INEC. INEC has never expressed
reservations about the documents that President Muhammadu Buhari attached to
his personal particulars.
“Now that WAEC has issued Mr
President his certificate, any of the Doubting Thomases can approach the body
(WAEC) for authentication or clarification.”
Recall that Buhari
had been under attack after he failed to submit his credentials to the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as the various presidential
candidates’ credentials were made available.
Buhari only submitted an
affidavit where he claimed that his credential was with the Secretary of the
Military Board.
But, Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday announced that
President Muhammadu Buhari had received the attestation certificate and
confirmation of school certificate result from the West African Examination
Council, WAEC, suppressing all doubts.
The attestation was presented to
the president at the State House, Abuja, during a courtesy visit by a
delegation from WAEC led by the body’s Registrar, Dr Iyi Uwadiae.
