Elections 2015: Buhari Fails To Submit Academic Credentials To INEC

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, did not present his academic qualifications to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) even as he prepares for the 2015 presidential contest. Unlike his PDP counterpart, President Goodluck Jonathan, whose academic certificates were conspicuously displayed by the commission upon presentation, Buhari’s credentials were visibly without trace at the commission’s office at Area 10, Abuja.

The former Head of State, explained in an affidavit he deposed, which he submitted to the commission that all his academic credentials were with the Secretary, Military Board.

The affidavit deposed at the Federal Capital Territory, High Court, Abuja and dated November 24,2014, was stamped and received at INEC headquarters on December 18, 2014. In the affidavit, Buhari said:

“All my academic qualifications (documents) as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015, are currently with the Secretary Military Boards as at the time of this affidavit.”
“The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose.”
