SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, (THEWILL) – A former official of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Oshideinde Adewunmi, has declared that President Muhammadu obtained a Cambridge University West African Examination certificate.
Adewunmi made this known as a witness called to the stand by Wole Olanipekun, Buhari’s counsel, at the Presidential Election Tribunal.
The former WAEC official, however, noted that Cambridge certificate presented to the tribunal has a typographical error.
He explained that the Cambridge certificate has “Mohamed Buhari” on it rather than “Muhammadu Buhari” as the name of the second respondent.
Adewunmi said although the Cambridge certificate has six subjects, the president sat for eight in 1961.
Buhari wrote the exams with 17 others and had an aggregate of 32, the witness said.
According to him, Buhari was listed as number two in the order of those who took the exams.
The witness said the president passed English, history, geography, Hausa and health science.
The petitioners – PDP and Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate – argued that Buhari did not have the qualification to hold the highest office in the country.
