Nigerian Army Has Buhari’s Academic Records, But He Needs To Apply


The director of public relations of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier Olaleye Lajide, has dismissed reports in the Nigerian media claiming that the army could not find academic records of General Muhammadu Buhari (ret.), the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Brigadier Lajide described the reports as false.


The military spokesman made the disclosure while responding to a text message from SaharaReporters seeking clarification about the status of Mr. Buhari’s records. Brigadier Lajide affirmed that the Nigerian Army is in possession of all records of serving, retired and deceased officers since its inception. He added, however, that all military officers are supposed to keep original copies of their certificates.

According to him, in the event where an officer loses his or her original copy of records, the concerned officer must officially apply for copies from the army. He stated that the army responds to such requests in an expeditious manner.

Brigadier Lajide told our correspondent that he was a former director of records at the Nigerian Army headquarters and had seen records of older and retired generals. He added that he was in no doubt that General Buhari’s records were intact.

Brigadier Olaleye insisted that the claim in a major Nigerian newspaper, that the army could not locate Mr. Buhari’s record was untrue.

This will make a lot of people have sleepless nites.

Some where already hallucinating that the People's General would be disqualified

Most Nairalanders are little kids who don't know thier left from right and easily deceived.

Now compare this kind of journalism where the name of the Army spokesman was named and quoted compared to the other report where a Brig. Gen. Nameless Source was quoted repeatedly by Vanguard newspaper.

Interesting!

I knew the army will never play politics with military tradition and hide the papers or lie about it. Trouble no good at allllll
. ""Buhari does not have certificates.." "Buhari this, Buhari that" and all these because of a bloody civilian called Jonathan. What happens when Buhari becomes CIC in February?. .Will all Army Council members run and hide in the bush?.

Vote change 2015

And what has stopped him from applying since??

Certificate or No Certificate, am still casting my vote for GMB.. So haters keep hating

Despite the fact that d military is corrupt, they won't joke wit a General. Every occupation is got its ethics. Buhari never tell lies. Now, I don't care if the mod, supermod and seun refuse to take dis to the front page to counter the one dey rushed to front page because dey want to tarnish image. The truth will always come. If u don't want CHANGE, then, remain stagnant.
