The Deputy Registrar of West African Examinations Council, WAEC in-charge of School Registration, Henry Adewumi on Wednesday said President Muhammadu Buhari obtained a Cambridge University’s West African Examination Certificate with five credits.
Adewumi, made this known while testifying before the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja. Buhari, on Tuesday opened his defence against the petition filed by the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The PDP and Abubakar alleged that Buhari failed to attach his WAEC Certificate to the INEC form he submitted to the Commission. They are also challenging the result of the election declared by the electoral body.
The two witnesses, Abba Kyari, two former secondary school mates had earlier testified that Buhari obtained a Cambridge University West Africa Examination Certificate in 1961.
Adewumi
in his evidence-in-chief further said that Buhari was listed as the second
person among the eighteen candidates that sat for the examination. Justice
Mohammed Garba, however, adjourned the proceeding until August 1st.
