Buhari, 6 Other Prominent Nigerian Politicians Who Have Been Involved by blazertech: 12:12pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
1. President Muhammadu Buhari:
Nigerians will never forget the Buhari
certificate saga during the build up to
the 2015 presidential election. Reports
had claimed that the president did not
have a valid WAEC certificate as he
allegedly did not include his 1961
Cambridge West African School
Certificate (WASC) certificate in the
binder of documents he tendered to the
Independent National Electoral
commission (INEC) as required for
candidates in an election. It got more
controversial when the military said it
did not have the document in its
possession.
Buhari was mercilessly trolled by some
Nigerians over allegations that the he did
possess a WAEC certificate
Also, an Abuja based legal practitioner,
Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe, challenged
the educational qualification. He
dragged Buhari to court, saying he was
not qualified to run for the office of the
president.
Buhari came under harsh criticisms as
some Nigerians faulted him for refusing
to produce his certificate.
2. Dino Melaye
This is the most recent certificate
scandal and it has been trending for
days. The controversy started after
Sahara Reporters reported that he did
not graduate from the Ahmadu Bello
University (ABU), Zaria as he claimed.
The Senate is investigating Melaye over
claims that he may have forged the
certificate with which he ran for the
legislative seat.
3. Sabo Garba
Sabo Garba allegedly forged his certificate to
enable contest in the election
In 2016, documents emerged, showing
that Garba, a member of the House of
Representatives from Yobe state, forged
his education certificate to enable him
to be eligible to run for the legislative
seat. This became public during a fierce
legal battle with him and Ali Yakubu, a
member of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) contending for same seat.
4. Bola Tinubu
Tinubu was involved in a certificate scandal
during his first tenure as Lagos state governor
During his first tenure as governor of
Lagos state between 1999 and 2003, the
national leader of the APC was
prosecuted by late human rights lawyer,
Gani Fawehinmi, over certificate
forgery. However, he was saved by the
brilliance and firmness of former
Attorney General and Commissioner for
Justice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo who is
now the vice president.
5. Dickson Tarkighir
Tarkighir dismissed the report,
Tarkighir dismissed the report, describing it as a
figment of the writer's imagination
In 2016, the member representing
Makurdi/Guma federal constituency at
the House of Representatives was listed
among federal lawmakers who got
elected into the Nigerian parliament
during the 2015 general elections with
either Secondary School Certificates or
Grade-II Teachers’ Certificates as their
highest educational qualification. But he
dismissed the report as a figment of the
writer’s imagination.
6. Abdulrazak Nuhu Bature
In 2012, the University of Jos through its
registrar, Jilli-Dandam, Danjuma had
urged the National Assembly to
disregard Bature’s claim that he
attended the institution. In a petition
dated November 12, and addressed to
the speaker of the House of Reps, Aminu
Tambuwal,124 members of his
constituents called for an investigation
into alleged certificate forgery against a
member,
7. Salisu Buhari
Salisu Buhari who was the speaker of the
House of Reps during the fourth assembly
resigned following the allegations
During the 4th assembly, Salisu Buhari
was accused of certificate forgery.
Shortly after members of the House of
Representatives elected him as speaker,
it was discovered that he contested and
won election using a forged university
degree certificate purportedly obtained
from the University of Toronto, Canada,
and had also lied about his age. He
broke down in tears when he resigned
following the allegations of forgery.
NAIJ.com was on the streets of Lagos
and they met the man in the video
below who said 98% of Nigerians are
animals.
