What does PERJURY mean? Perjury, also known as forswearing, is the intentional act of swearing a false oath or of falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters material to an official proceeding.... Perjury is considered a serious offence as it can be used to usurp the power of the courts, resulting in miscarriages of justice. In the United States, for example, the general perjury statute under Federal law classifies perjury as a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to five years.-Wikipedia ISSUES FOR LEGAL REVIEW 1. Did General Buhari lie under oath when he claimed that his name was Muhammadu Buhari in his INEC affidavit whereas the name in the statement of result he later produced from Government College showed his name to be Mohamed Buhari whereas all other military service related records show Muhammadu Buhari? What is his real name? Evan or Evans? 2. Did Buhari lie when he stated in his affidavit that his certificates are with military board whereas he never submitted his school certificate to military board? Or he merely couldnt differentiate between school board and military board because of age? Since the certificate is confirmed not with military board where is it? What the school presented is a copy of the statement of result purportedly issued to him and the attached picture shows a much older man than Buhari would have been in 1961. Since he is claiming 72 now it means in 1961 he was 18 then. Does that picture look like that of a 18year old? Note that his wikipedia entry was edited yesterday (Last edited 4 hours ago by Koophreh). 3. Did Buhari supporters and APC perjure themselves when they claimed that Buharis certificates were stolen by ex-President IBB whereas Buhari never submitted the certificates to any board but rather a letter of recommendation from school principal to the Board? Perjury by definition is not restricted to sworn affidavit. Misinformation to mislead INEC and the general public is also perjury. Filling of INEC form and attachment of relevant documents is a legal requirement and yet they tried to mislead INEC and Nigerians. By the way, how was someone promoted up to the rank of a General without anyone sighting his certificate? At least 5 promotion boards sat before he made General and not even one asked for his original certificate but were all eager to promote him. In which other country is that possible and how many of our current and retired senior military officers joined the service with mere letters of recommendation? Shouldnt such people be stripped of the ranks awarded to them and made to return all the benefits they got illegally? What exactly is the difference between this case and that of Speaker Salisu Buhari who was convicted and shamed? Who is actually behind the strike by judicial workers and cant we force courts open so that someone can sue and get details under oath as against non-justiceable press conferences? Please share with your contacts, until it gets † relevant authorities.
