The Peoples Democratic Party has challenged the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari, to flaunt his school certificate if he has got any.
The party threw the challenge at the PDP presidential campaign rally organised for President Goodluck Jonathan in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday.
The Director General of the PDP Presidential Campiagn Organisation, Senator Ahmadu Ali, at the event boasted that Nigeria was working under Jonathan.
He said, “Nigeria is working under Jonathan. Anybody who says it is not is six feet below the ground.
“Ekiti has more than 60 percent of all the professors in Nigeria. You have no business voting for somebody whose schools certificates we have just been informed were not available.”
Leading the challenge against the opposition at the rally, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, said anyone who wanted to rule the country must have the necessary academic qualification.
The Governor, who criticised the opposition party for accusing him of not having the required academic certificate to govern the state wondered why the APC flag-bearer in the February 14 presidential election had not made his certificate public.
Fayose who tendered his certificates at the rally said, “Anybody who wants to be the president of this country must have the necessary qualification.
“The APC said I don’t have a certificate. They shouted and went to the Polytechnic of Ibadan, secondary and primary schools to get photocopy of the forms I submitted. The court told them they are liars and propagandist. Let General Buhari flaunt his certificate if he has got them.”
The Ondo State Governor, Mimiko, who spoke on behalf of other PDP Governors also challenged Buhari to tender his certificate.
