We Have Buhari’s certificates with us, Nigerian Army

The Authority of Nigerian Army have confirmed the certificate of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress , Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd).

The Army spokesman said that Buhari’s credentials were with the military and  the service will readily release credentials and certificates in its custody to serving and retired officers in need of them.

Gen Buhari had stated in an affidavit he submitted to at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on November 24, 2014 and received by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on December 18, 2014, that all his certificates were with the Secretary, Military Board.

“I am the above-named person and deponent to this affidavit therein.

“All my academic qualifications, documents as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015, are currently with the Secretary, Military Board as of the time of presenting this affidavit. The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose,”.

Laleye stated that the Army would not refuse or deprived any officer access to his credentials whose certificates were in its custody from getting them if the existing procedure for the retrieval or collection of the certificates was followed.

He said, “Every serving and retired Army officer has at least a copy of his certificates and credentials kept in the Nigerian Army while that same serving and retired officer has copies of those same certificates and credentials.

“And there is a laid-down procedure to request for certificates. It is known to any serving and retired officer.

“If you want anything checked in your file, you simply follow the due process and it would be given to you because the credentials belong to you.”

“The Nigerian Army does not refuse to give anybody his credentials if the due process is followed. Now, take note of this. Not only does the Nigerian Army keep these things, the individual officers, whether serving or retired, have copies.”
