Opposition party, PDP has ordered President Muhammadu Buhari to show the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal his West African Examination Council certificate rather than let Festus Keyamo ridicule the intelligence of the citizens by saying the certificate was not needed by anybody to become President in Nigeria.
PDP also urged Nigerians to be aware that by saying no aspirant requires a WAEC certificate but the ability to speak good English to vie for the office of the President “the Presidency, through Festus Keyamo, has finally admitted that President Buhari does not have a WAEC certificate as he claimed in his INEC form.”
In a recent statement from the party, PDP said, “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.”
