Buhari lacks educational requirement to be Nigeria President – Activist

A human rights activist and Executive Chairman, Centre for Human
Rights and social Justice (CHRSJ), Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman has
declared that President Muhammadu Buhari lacked educational
requirement of Senior school Certificate(SSCE) to become the President
of this country, saying that this error has shown clearly in his style
of governance of this nation in the last one year, for not being able
to proffer a single solution to
the one of the problems facing the
country but aggravate it.

The rights activist has also disclosed that the government of
President Buhari has become a disaster to the masses of the Country as
all the Buhari’s government policies have brought pains and pangs to
the lives of the Nigeria people as Nigerians experienced in 1985 when
Buhari was Head of Military junta .

Reacting through a signed statement which was made available to
newsmen on Sunday on the one year in office of the President Muhamamdu Buhari and last Thursday dismissal of the Preliminary Objections filed by the President Buhari in the case instituted against him, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Suit No:FHC/ABJ/CS/110/2015, by an
Abuja based Legal Practitioner, Barr. Nnamdi Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe
challenging the competence of Buhari to stand election into the office
of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when he lacks the
basic educational qualifications set out in the Constitution.

Comrade Sulaiman who commended the ruling of the Federal High Court
,Abuja on the subject matter, saluting the courage of Justice Adeniyi
Ademola for throwing away the Buhari/APC’s preliminary objection which
lacked merit in the eyes of the law, calling on the security agents in
the Country to beef up security around the litigant, Barrister Nnamdi
Nwokocha-Ahaaiwe.

He added that Buhari had failed to meet up with the basic requirement
criteria in filling CF001 form submitted to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) which requested a candidate to attach his
or her credential to the form, urging Buhari not to waste the precious
time of Nigerians by voluntarily and honourably tender his resignation
from the office of the President, noting that non-resignation of
Buhari would be the beginning of corruption of his administration.

CHRSJ boss who advised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
leadership to tell the President Buhari to bring out his
controversial certificate being alleged to be sized by the then
Nigeria Army, as current President and Chief of Armed of Forces to
bring out his Certificate, insisting that Buhari was not qualified to
contest the Presidential election but due to the bad systemic nature
of the country and lack of integrity on the part of President gave him
audacity to contest election, stressing that Buhari had violated
section 131 of the Constitution, which prescribes a minimum
qualification for nomination to participate in presidential election
and section 31 of the Electoral Act that stipulates all presidential
candidates to depose an affidavit in proof of compliance with
constitutional requirement to be President of Nigeria.

According to him,” Nobody is crucifying President Muhammadu Buhari
unjustly but President Buhari claimed to acquire the Secondary School
certificate in 1961 in the Form CF001 submitted to the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the conduct of March
28th, 2015 Presidential election and there is a caveat in the form
that a candidate must accompany the form with the attached photocopies
of acclaimed certificates and if Buhari truly ready to effect any
change in the governance of this country ,he(Buhari) should be ready
to abide by the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the last
Presidential election even as sitting President by bringing the
controversial certificate out and he should not see himself to be
above the law of the land. It will be a shame on the part of All
Progressives Congress (APC), if President Buhari could not produce the
controversial certificate in question”.

Speaking further on the one year in office of President Muhamamdu
Buhari, Sulaiman who doubles as Chairman, Civil Societies Coalition
for the Emancipation of Osun State (CSCEOS), stated that the President
has performed woefully by not justifying the mandate being given to
him by Nigeria masses during the 2015 Presidential election, described
all the Buhari’s policies as anti-masses and undemocratic which
against his electoral promises during the last general election.

He said, it has been very cleared that Buhari did not had clue to
solve the mirage of problems facing the country as the Country got
worst day-by –day since present administration came on board, urging
Buhari to do the needful by resigning from office so as to avoid
future cacophony brouhaha .
