Reacting to the controversy surrounding Buhari's Certificate, the PDP said it was not interested in the academic qualifications of Buhari, who, it said, would be questioned at the appropriate time.

The party’s national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, told the Nigerian Tribune in Abuja, on Sunday, that it was not the business of the ruling party to dabble into the internal affairs of the opposition, moreso as the matter was before the court of public opinion.

“We do not require them to have a certificate. They can even field somebody who has never gone to school. It’s not our business, it’s the business of INEC. At the appropriate time, he will be questioned, but for purposes of politics, we do not want to start making comments on such,” he said.

He recalled that the national secretary of the party, Professor Wale Oladipo, had questioned Buhari’s ability to understand indices on of his low academic qualifications, referring to the former head of state as “a semi-illiterate jackboot.”

On APC’s criticism of the appointment of former Aviation minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode as a director in the national campaign council of President Goodluck Jonathan, the PDP spokesman maintained that it was not the business of the opposition to determine who gets appointment in PDP.

Metuh rubbished APC’s claim that the appointment was an indication that Jonathan was condoning corruption, saying that Fani-Kayode had not been found guilty of corruption by any court of competent jurisdiction.

Metuh pointed out that if the APC was accusing Jonathan of hugging corruption for appointing Fani-Kayode, then the party’s national leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, should have nothing to do with the APC, because he had similarly been accused of corruption and charged before the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (IC).

“Fani-Kayode has been a minister, he has shown his capacity. Has he been found guilty of any corruption? He was charged, discharged and acquitted in a court of law. So, what does it mean?

“In that case, Tinubu should not appear in their campaign or should not be leader of their campaign, because he was charged before by IC as well,” he said.

Controversy rages on

If you click on the Tribune link, scroll down to see the above news.

I think this is a matured response from PDP. However, we the electorates want to see Buhari’s Certificate if he wants our votes.

#BuhariShowYourCertificate please

At the appropriate time

Nigeria matter what Olisa Metusela says on february 14th my vote is for APC.

Illiterate or not, GMB for president 2015..

Haters and losers go and hang

BESIDES, MOST OF OUR LEADERS especially from the North are certified ILLITERATES. so it's no big deal, It has been happening for ages, All APC want is 12 million votes from the north.

Better an illiterate who means well than the educated thieves who mean evil.

Buhari is such an intimidating and fearsome “semi-illiterate” that the super literates in the land have had to go on grueling academic research in yet futile attempts to rubbish him.

"To his distractors, Buhari is by far the oldest human being ever to aspire to lead a nation. The global icon, Nelson Mandela, fresh from 27 years in prison, became South Africa’s president at 76. Americans who elected John Kennedy president at 41 were the same people that made Ronald Reagan president at 70. Tunisians, progenitors of the recent Arab Spring, have just elected an 88-year old uncle of yours as president in continuation of their revolution".


Here is a list of some of the poorly educated but incredibly successful people. TANdroids can google and read about these people of history.

1. John D. Rockefeller - Billionaire and possibly the richest man in history

2. Steve Jobs - Apple Co-Founder

3. Henry Ford - Industrialist and Entrepreneur

4. Winston Churchill - UK Statesman and War Leader

5. Abraham Lincoln - US President


It is a big shame on PDP that with all their PhD holders, they have only managed to pauperize Nigerians in the last sixteen years of lootocracy.

Buhari attended the NDA and graduated with good grades - no question about that.

Buhari went to the US War College and he is among the college's top six past graduates - no issues with this as well.

So how can a sane human being say such a person is an illiterate?

Una no well!

APC ers please tell your master to show us his certificate ooo. I know is too late to forge one because anyone they release now would be scrutinized and investigated by the public and thats the reason they are more confused on what to do. little wonder why they keep ranting shitts. Osibanjo should lend buhari his own. Nigeria is too big to be ruled by a stack illiterate in the name of i will fight kworruption while he surrounds himself with certified corrupt people.

Certificate or No Certificate, am casting my vote for GMB so haters keep on hating
GMB for president

Don't play with Pdp,when they called gmb and illiterate they knew it would come to this. Buhari an illiterate ruling over Nigeria is an insult to all the intellectual giants all first class holders,degree holders etc in this nation

Hehehe I always tell people, politics at your peril. ......all the secrets you think you have will be brought to light and becoming a laughing stock is inevitable. .....imagine calling somebodys grandpa an illiterate

Option ba

im liking this game

PDP and APC are like pregnant women...too much blabbing.

when a doctorate degree holder is not convincing.

With the kind of News I've been hearing for the past few days, PDP would be the Most Useless Opposition Party from Feb. 14 and beyond. No atom of Intelligence in their accusations/statements. Their Spokesmen from State Level to Federal are bunch of Moróns. They have a lot to learn from Baba Lai Mohammed and Joe Igbokwe.

They be throwing tantrum like toddlers.

Change Is Here!!

Whoever they field for president must surely loose, illiterate ot not

GEJ till buhari goes to school
