Certificate controversy: My critics will remain in court – Buhari

 

Presidential candidate of the APC, Gen Buhari says those who are aggrieved about his certificate and the issues surrounding it should go to court and remain there. He said this while speaking with some journalists after members of the Peoples Democratic Movement, PDM came to show their solidarity in the forthcoming election. He said that INEC said it has received his document and that anyone who has a contrary view to this is free to head to the court

"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. This is the first time INEC by law have got those documents and they say 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 said.

Recall that an Abuja based lawyer, Mr. Chukwunweike Okafor, on Monday January 26th filed a case against Gen Buhari before the Federal High court in Abuja asking the court to disqualify him over the controversies surrounding his academic certificate.
