The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari has said that his academic credentials have been deposited with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The
former Head of State also added that his certificates had been duly
acknowledged by the Legal Department of INEC so he was surprised that
people were still making an issue of it.
“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 INEC,” Buhari said.
“This
is the first time, INEC by law has got those documents and they said
they have got them. So, anybody who has any different view should go to
court. I think they have gone to court. So, let them remain there,” he
added.
An Abuja-based lawyer, Chike Okafor has petitioned a Federal High Court in the state to disqualify Buhari from
the February 14 elections due to false information given by the
candidate in the affidavit he submitted to INEC in lieu of his
credentials.
