<\/p>\nDAILY POST recalls that Buhari had been under attack after he failed to submit his credentials to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as the various presidential candidates\u2019 credentials were made available.<\/p>\n
Buhari only submitted an affidavit where he claimed that his credential was with the Secretary of the Military Board.<\/p>\n
However, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday announced that President Muhammadu Buhari had received the attestation certificate and confirmation of school certificate result from the West African Examination Council, WAEC.<\/p>\n
But this has stirred divergent opinions from Nigerians who wondered why it took Buhari so long to get WAEC certificate.<\/p>\n
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:<\/p>\n
@Akinadesoji \u201cIf it took the President 3 years (2015 \u2013 2018) to get his Confirmation of Result from WAEC, what\u2019s the hope for mere mortals??<\/p>\n
@mayor_ic \u201cAttestation certificate in 2018, were is this attestation in 2015? please make it public for rational verification. illegality individuals in the seat of power, fighting institutions to prove fake innocence.<\/p>\n
@Ffijj \u201cWhy is the passport photograph looking recent?<\/p>\n
@2_fez \u201cSuddenly you have found your voice, but it does not change my decision of voting against your party.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Tomm_wears \u201d Buhari just removed his cap in this picture and they made the picture white and black for us to feel that the result was old.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Igie_nosakhare \u201cWhy did it take WAEC about 15yrs to do that? Why now that he\u2019s the President? Why?<\/p>\n
@Peterojedele \u201cBad news for wailers, nothing to use as a campaign strategy for Atikulooted to, FEBUHARI 16, 2019 all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Lamoko \u201cEverything is possible in Nigeria, afterwards who pays WAEC?He who pays the piper detects the tune.\u201d<\/p>\n
@galadansi \u201cWAEC is now working with APC.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Ge_asuquo \u201cIf Apc govt continues beyond 2019, we might not have a country called Nigeria. 2014, Buhari claimed his cert was with the military and they debunked it. Buhari as CoC couldn\u2019t get the army to produce his cert if truly his claims then were correct but guess what? He waited till 2018 to remind us his cert is still with the Army. Nigerians simply ask he orders the army to release it but No; they\u2019re here to sell us attestation from WAEC and we\u2019re saying INTEGRITY.\u201d<\/p>\n
@Fanwokings \u201cToo early for PDP to have lost the 2019 Presidential election. The only hope they have is gone!<\/p>\n
@Igie_nosakare \u201cFemi that\u2019s a big fraud. Buhari is using his power to acquire WAEC result illegally. Why didn\u2019t he get it in 2015?<\/p>\n
@Owonifariesq \u201cThe certificate still looks doctored! \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f whoever did that had just one job \u261d\ufe0f MAKE IT LOOK REAL! But y\u2019all combination of HEADS couldn\u2019t even make that happen!<\/p>\n
@UgoA9 \u201cWhat Nigerians want is compliance with INEC requirements. No one is interested in making a mockery of anyone. Asking WAEC for the replacement of a missing certificate is what would have been done all this time, not politicizing the matter. This is a major breakthrough, after donkey years of searching for missing WAEC certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
