As Nigerians continues to seriously demands president Buhari's WEAC results to fullfil necessary requirements to INEC especially on his O'level result saga.
Mahmood Yakubu, The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who addressed a
press conference at the commission headquarters on Friday, stated that any doubt or question on the forms submitted by aspirants regarding their personal particulars including Buhari’s certificate can be challenged in court.
According to the INEC Chairman, anyone in doubt of forms submitted by the candidates regarding their personal particulars, can challenge it in court of law.
He added that while the commission is making the particulars of the candidates known, the public is to seize the opportunity to view the personal details
of the candidates that seek to represent them.
“Any person with reasonable ground to believe that any information on form CF001 submitted by a candidate contains incorrect or false claims is at liberty to file an action against such candidate at the federal high court or the high court of a state or FCT,” he said.
“While the current exercise is limited to candidates for presidential and national assembly elections, the personal particulars of those contesting in
governorship and state assemblies elections will be published on November 9, 2018, one week after the close of submission of nominations by political parties.”
“This is an opportunity for citizens to ascertain the personal details of the candidates to enable them take informed decisions on election day or even initiate
legal action against candidates who they believe have made false claims on their forms,” he added.
However, President Buhari only submitted an affidavit as his academic credentials while his number one contender submitted all the required records.
The Affidavit reads
“I am the above named
person and the
deponent of this affidavit
herein. All my
academic qualification
documents as filled
in my Presidential form,
APC/001/2015 are
currently with the Secretary
of the Military
Board as of the time of this
affidavit,”
Meanwhile, President Buhari's WEAC results has surfaced online believed to be poorly manufactured. This development occurred following the INEC commencement of screening candidates and Buhari's inability to produce his WEAC results and has contested for second tenure.
Yet, he has almost completed his first term without a valid academic results. Nigeria seemed to be an instrument of caricature.
