The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday declared that the \u201cfretting and jittering in the Presidency\u201d whenever the issue of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s academic certificate was mentioned was an indication that \u201cMr. President is morally burdened and ostensibly has something to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n

PDP made the remark while responding to a statement credited to the Presidency alleging that those raising the certificate issue are sowing seeds of discord.<\/p>\n

The opposition party stated that Buhari\u2019s handlers should \u201cdo the needful by placing the certificate in public domain instead of confronting and threatening Nigerians for demanding that Mr. President shows his certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the opposition party said, \u201cThe Buhari Presidency should know that their threats and confrontation cannot take away the fact that their principal\u2019s certificate issue requires a personal responsibility and Mr. President cannot wish away this responsibility as he had always done on official matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Mr. President has nothing to hide, he should end the confrontations by his presidency and show integrity by writing the military authorities to make public the said certificate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn failing to do so, Mr. President is opening himself to public opprobrium particularly as millions of Nigerian youths see such as grossly undesirable of a leader, expected to set examples.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, President Buhari should know that Nigerians are aware that he is not the only retired military officer to aspire for elective office in the country and none of them brought the claims of their certificates being held by the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, therefore, hold that Mr. President must show Nigerians his claimed school certificate upon which his nomination as a candidate is based. If he does not have this credential, he should make such declaration and stop the nebulous claim that his credentials are with the military.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
