Buhari Has A Certificate Scandal – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has said that President Buhari also has a certificate scandal.

This is coming on the heels of a report that listed the names of prominent Nigerian politicians who have issues with their academic qualifications.

Recently, Senator Dino Melaye has been in the eye of the storm following allegations by Sahara Reporters that he did not graduate from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU).

According to Vanguard, Omokri said “If he(Buhari) does not, how come he hired 13 Senior Advocates of Nigeria to defend him in a case brought to compel him to provide certificate or proof that he has one…?”

He also added that “The Presidency is being clever by half by saying that President Muhammadu Buhari like Dino Melaye, is not involved in a certificate scandal. That is patently dishonest. President Buhari DOES have a certificate scandal.

“If he does not, how come he hired 13 Senior Advocates of Nigeria to defend him in a case brought to compel him to provide certificate or proof that he has one, including one SAN, Kola Awodein, who gave a ‘gift’ of ₦500k to Justice Ademola, the judge handling the case against the President, at a time the case was pending before him.

“A man that has no certificate scandal will simply produce the original certificate or if it is lost he will apply to the University of Cambridge International Examinations for a Certified True Copy of his results.

“You do not need to defend the truth with 13 SANs. The truth will defend itself. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that Buhari has no GCE Certificate. I don’t know if he has or doesn’t have. What I am saying is that he HAS a certificate scandal!”

Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan also issued a statement debunking the report that said he was involved in a certificate scandal.
