Few days after the former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, retd, explained in an affidavit submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that all his academic credentials were with the Military Board, the Army have stated that they do not keep the certificates of any serving or retired officer or soldier.
General Buhari is contesting the presidential election for the fourth time under different political parties including the defunct All Nigeria People’s Party, ANPP and the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, but the issue of his qualifications had never been controversial until the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, recently described him as a ‘’semi- illiterate.’’
However, against the backdrop of Buhari’s affidavit in court, a military source said ‘’that the Army can not keep anybody’s original certificate because it is the personal property of the owner,’’ adding that such original certificates were only needed at the point of entry into the service.
According to the source, the Military only kept photocopies of credentials of officers and soldiers in their personal files that were in the military secretary’s office.
“The original certificate of any officer or soldier is only needed at the point of entry into the service either as a cadet officer entering the Nigerian Defence Academy, or the recruitment officers when interviewing recruits to be sent to the depot for training. That is so, because they are needed to verify what were in the photocopies supplied by them or from the necessary examining bodies.”
The source further stated that anybody claiming that his original certificates were with the Military Secretary (Army), had ‘’ulterior motive(s) or something he or she cannot explain.’’
He further added, “Let me tell you now, in the Navy, the Navy Secretary, NAVSEC, keep the documents of all Naval officers and ratings and not their original certificates which are their personal property.

My high point s has 2 wat GMb colud have done 2 d supoosed 24million his entitled to
- Him Gmb could have given 2 any fedearal or regional sch within his teritory instead of d stale news dey keep dishing out dat he had 2 write 2 d chief accountant of d federation 2 stop paying him his entitlement.
-Him Gmb 4 record sake I think polio n other diseases r high up north,he culd have fund any hospital of his choice thereby helping his people have access 2 good health facility but instead he chose dog n baboon 2 bath in d same blood.
-He Gmb has attended d best miltary sch in d world he couldn't work in dat sector 2 improve it a bit but instead his people felt d need 2 squeeze him in as ptf chairman 2 head nnpc as against economics,accountant,business admin etc a military personnel
-I'm sure if Gmb is to run 4 governorship in Kastina he would surely loose not becos he his not fit 2 attain such feet but rather he does not have grassroot.

But I'm still yet 2 believe/see wat other people see in him but anyway Jonah till 2019.
