Buhari Support Organization head of Media and Publicity, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe has come out and defended the academic records of presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress, General Mohammdu Buhari.
The Public speaker told The vanguard that the lies about the credibility of the presidential hopeful was cooked up by detractors to sway the minds of the public.
He said that Buhari’s detractors are afraid of Buhari’s strong campaign and have therefore decided to play dirty.
He described the former head of state as a noble gentleman and wondered why after his military service, why they would decide now to question his qualifications.
He said: “There should be no iota of doubt about General Mohammadu Buhari’s qualification. The records are there. He was not just a school prefect but a Head Boy. In the ages past, you can not enter the military school if there is any questionable mark about your school certificate or WAEC result as it were.
“So, that is clear. Your entry must be on acceptable pass mark before going to the military academy. Of course, the records are there both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria for anybody to cross check. We thank God we now live in the age of online.
“You can google everything. I mean, he couldn’t have run the presidential election for three times…and each time his documentation must be assessed by INEC. But now is the first time they are coming up with that.
Buhari is facing the incumbant president , Goodluck Jonathan in a crucial 2015 election poised to decide the future of the nation.
