2019 Election: Atiku mocks Buhari "am Educationally Qualified Than you"
Nigeria‘s President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday accused Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 Presidential election, of not possessing the statutory educational qualification to contest the February 23 Presidential election.
President Buhari in his counter-accusation, dared Abubakar to produce his “educational certificates, indicating the schools attended by him, with dates,” before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.
Naija News recalls that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, winner of the election.
However, Abubakar and the main opposition party filed a petition before the tribunal seeking an order nullifying Buhari’s victory and another order declaring them as the true winner of the poll.
The petitioners alleged, among others, that Buhari gave false information about his school certificate in the Form CF001, which he submitted to INEC.
They had alleged that Buhari did not possess secondary school certificate he laid claim to in the form.
But in a reply filed on his behalf on Wednesday by his lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Buhari said he possessed more than the constitutionally required educational qualifications to contest the election.
