tender his West African Examination Certificate, which 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.
A statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan said “The party also calls on
Nigerians to note that in claiming that an aspirant does not need WAEC
certificate, but the ability to speak English, to contest for the office
of the President, the Buhari Presidency, through Festus Keyamo, has
finally admitted that President Buhari does not have a WAEC certificate as
he claimed in his INEC form.
“The PDP says it is completely inexcusable for President Buhari to swear
to an affidavit to claim an 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 aides.”
