…Presidency, WAEC deceiving Nigerians – PDP

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has said the Presidency and West African Examinations Council (WAEC) are deceiving Nigerians on President Muhammadu Buhari’s WASC certificate.

The party in a statement yesterday signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said what WAEC did was politics, adding it was a tragi-comedy.

“We never expected Mr. President to dramatically come this low because you cannot have a certificate and be calling it an attestation. What are they attesting to? We stand by our position that Mr. President has no school certificate.

“It’s simply a political certificate. We have said that the Buhari presidency and his handlers are always fretting at the mention of a certificate. So, they want to mislead Nigerians to say that Mr. President has a school certificate.

“If Mr. President has a certificate, why did he not use it in 2015 election? Why is the certificate suddenly emerging few months to the election?

“And have you checked the photograph that was attached to the certificate? In 1961, was it the requirement of WAEC to have a passport attached to school certificate? Even in our own generation, is it a condition in WAEC that you must submit your passport to be attached to your certificate? They should come off it. It’s too low.

“You remember the procured Martin Luther Award presented to our president which later was discovered to be fake? This is a similar award, procured. We are waiting for the story of its declaration as another procured document,” the PDP said.
