Buhari tells Certificate doubters: Go to court if you like

THE All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate in the February 14 election, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, said anybody is free to drag him to court over the controversy surrounding his secondary school certificate.

This came just as the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) explained why it resolved to support his candidacy for the election.

The APC presidential candidate stated this while fielding questions from newsmen, after a visit to him by the PDM delegation, led by its national chairman, Bashir Yusuf Ibrahim.

Buhari, reacting to reports that he had been taken to court over the controversy surrounding his Secondary School certificate, maintained that “well, I am not surprised. This is Nigeria."

"If people are serious about this issue, they ought to have listened to the legal adviser of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)."

“INEC said it has got all the necessary documents, so, anybody who has any different view should go to court. I think they have gone to court, so let them remain there,” he stated.

Earlier, the PDM national chairman had announced the unanimous decision of the party’s National Executive Committee for its members and supporters to vote for Buhari on February 14.
