GMB contested Presidential election in 2003, 2007 and 2010 the issue of certificate was not mentioned but why now? Section 131 (d) Electoral act of 2011 as amended is a specific directional order for all candidates to show proof of education up to a minimum standard not below school certificate or its equivalent. Section 131 of the Nigerian constitution which states that: “A person shall be qualified for election to the office of President if: (a) He is a citizen of Nigeria by birth (b) He has attained the age of forty years(c) He is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and (d) He has been educated up to at least School certificate level or its equivalent.” The answer is that the electoral ACT as amended 2011 demanded the photocopy of the candidate qualification. So it is the electoral ACT that end Buhari political career.
