As posts fly about questioning the validity of Buharis certificate, Ive compiled a few answers to some of the most common questions/statements. It is a very serious accusation to claim that the Buhari campaign will forge educational documents and the Katsina Ministry of Education, and Katsina College will help them do so. As anyone from the PDP, the Media or the public can immediately approach WAEC to ask for the original documents, it makes no sense for the APC to do that. This reminds me of the Obama birth certificate saga. There are many people who still claim it is a forgery! LOL! ~ Bucky 2015 Common Questions 1) Why are the dates on the certificate stamped 2015 and not 1961? Answer: The stamp and date served as authentication that the document was truly retrieved from the records of that Secondary School and it emanated from there. And, it MUST bear the date it was forwarded! And, Cambridge University also sent a computer print-out of the same certificate! So, the certificate itself bears 1961 while the stamp of the retrieving and forwarding establishment bears the date the retrieved document was forwarded (ie todays date).

Answer: Please see this write-up on Nigerias educational history from pre- colonisation to date. In the 1950s and at least the early 1960s, Nigerian children spent 6 years in primary school, and 7 years in secondary school. In the 1950s, Nigeria adopted the British system called Form Six that divided grades into six elementary years, three junior secondary years, two senior secondary years, and a two-year university preparation program. Those who scored high on exit examinations at the end of Form Six usually were qualified to enter universities.

Answer: The army actually said he had a pass in English Literature and a credit in English Language. Many peeps heard pass in English literature, and immediately jumped to the conclusion the army meant English grammar. :-) The link below provides copies of the armys letter and other documentation in Buharis file. premiumtimesng/news/headlines/175352-exclusive-nigerian-army-releases-academic-records-buhari.html 4) If the certificate is false, why is the Buhari campaign confident enough to provide it to the press. Answer: The Buhari campaign freely releasing this document to the media is the strongest piece of evidence that the documents are real. With all the information provided on the documentation, anyone can directly approach the Cambridge exams board, WAEC, The Katsina Education Ministry and The Katsina College, to verify the information. With the examination number given on the certificate, it will be easy for those organisations to respond quickly. 5) Why is his name spelled Muhammadu Buhari, but is Mohamed Buhari on the certificate? Answer: Nigerian names commonly have many different variations of spellings, and it is not uncommon to find Nigerians with different spelling variations of their names on different documents - certificates, passports, birth certificates et etc Some people will always insist on spelling ones name the way they prefer even after seeing the correct spelling written out! That happens to me loadsa times... *wink* 6) Why does Buhari have such a beautiful wife??? Answer: Errrm, that one you will have to ask General Buhari o! He must have excellent taste!
