The controversy trailing the academic qualifications of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major General Mohammadu Buhari, has taken another twist as the Army has dissociated itself from claims that Buhari’s school leaving certificate was never in its records.

According to Sahara Reporters, military sources have
claimed that the Nigerian Army spokesperson who
addressed a press conference yesterday, January 20,
2015, to announce that the army could not find
General Buhari’s school leaving certificate, had
already been redeployed from that post. It added that
they were surprised when Brigadier Olaleye Lajide
addressed the press.
The military sources also confirmed that the alleged
documents in question had just been released to
General Buhari, less than 24 hours after the former
Head of State requested them.

Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General
Olajide Laleye, addressed newsmen in Abuja,
claiming that: “The Nigerian Army does not have the
original copy of his (Buhari) West African Examinations
Council, WAEC result or a certified true copy.”
The general’s press briefing has added more
controversy to the Buhari’s certificate saga.
General Muhammadu Buhari, has promised to
address the press today, January 21, 2015 , in Kano to
clear the air over the controversy generated over his
academic qualifications.
