The release of the certificate of All Progressives Congress’ (APC) Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, by the West African Examination Council (WAEC), have been received with mixed feelings by social media users including Nigerian celebrities.
One
of such celebrities is popular Gospel singer, Sammie Okposo, who in his
opinion thinks Gen. Buhari's WAEC certificate is forged and says some
things don't add up.
Okposo pointed out that some
subjects supposedly written by the former Head of State weren't in the
WAEC curriculum in 1961 - the year Buhari claimed he wrote his senior
school certificate exams.
It is evident that the
award-winning gospel singer is a strong supporter of President Jonathan
who is contesting for a second term under the platform of Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
To show his support for Jonathan, he wrote earlier:
"Positive and meaningful change means moving/going forward not 32 years backwards"
Here is his opinion on Buhari's WAEC certificate:
"From
perjury to forgery: Buhari or whoever forged that certificate needs to
be flogged. Prior to the formation of a central govt by Gowon, all
regions had separate curriculums.
Only
the western region offered a local language in both their curriculum and
WASC! It was after a central govt was formed and a universal
educational curriculum was developed and adopted which included other
local languages in 1974! So which WASC did Buhari write in 1961 that
included Hausa?
Scroll to page 9 of this
academic write up and see a brief summary of the total subjects entered
from 1961 to 1974 and the percentile of students per subject.
What are thoughts on Sammie Okposo's opinion?
