The release of the certificate of All Progressives Congress’ (APC) Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, by theWest African Examination Council (WAEC), have been received with mixed feelings by social media users including Nigerian celebrities.
One of such celebrities is popular Gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, who in
his opinion thinks Gen. Buhari's WAEC certificate is forged and says
some things don't add up.
Okposo pointed out that some subjects supposedly written by the former
Head of State weren't in the WAEC curriculum in 1961 - the year Buhari
claimed he wrote his senior school certificate exams.
It is evident that the award-winning gospel singer is a strong supporter
of President Jonathan who is contesting for a second term under the
platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
To show his support for Jonathan, he wrote earlier:
"Positive and meaningful change means moving/going forward not 32 years backwards"
Here is opinion on Buhari's WAEC certificate:
"From
perjury to forgery: Buhari or whoever forged that certificate needs to
be flogged. Prior to the formation of a central govt by Gowon, all
regions had separate curriculums.
Only
the western region offered a local language in both their curriculum
and WASC! It was after a central govt was formed and a universal
educational curriculum was developed and adopted which included other
local languages in 1974! So which WASC did Buhari write in 1961 that
included Hausa?
Scroll
to page 9 of this academic write up and see a brief summary of the
total subjects entered from 1961 to 1974 and the percentile of students
per subject.
What are thoughts on Sammie Okposo's opinion?
