Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on new media, Reno Omokri, on Saturday disclosed why he thinks the West African Examination Council, WAEC, attestation of results given to President Muhammadu Buhari may be fake.
WAEC, through its Registrar, Iyi Uwadiae, had on Friday, issued an attestation of results to Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
In his continued reaction to the development, Omokri posted a series of tweets where he said, “@Cambridge_Uni confirmed that certificates they issued in 1961 had only numbers for grades and no alphabets. Read it for yourself.
“Now go back and look at the so called certificate given to @MBuhari by @waecnigeria and notice it is incompatible with that.
“Yahoo boys are learning when compared to @MBuhari and @WAECNigeria. @officialEFCC is arresting the wrong people.
“What magic is this? Same WAEC that officially wrote that they have no record of Buhari sitting for School Certificate suddenly abracadabras a certificate! #RenosDarts.”
In a related development, oposition political parties under the aegis of Coalition of United Political Parties have described the sudden release of the confirmation of result by WAEC in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, as suspicious.
They said that there were indications that the result was hurriedly released to stall the commencement of the suit seeking to disqualify the President from the 2019 election, describing the action as laughable, unbelievable and a desperate effort to mislead the court and shield President Buhari from being disqualified in the 2019 presidential election.
CUPP is made up of about 42 political parties.
The CUPP in a statement issued in Abuja by its National Spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere, called on WAEC to produce the official ledger and booklet containing the scores and records of names of students of the Provincial Secondary School, katsina, now called Government Secondary School.
The spokesperson said WAEC succumbed to what he called “high level pressure to issue out the document which is suspicious and aimed at misleading Nigerians and the court to believe President Buhari sat for the exam when in the actual sense he did not, as there is no evidence to support the assertion.”
He added, “Let Nigerians be reminded that a few days ago, the opposition raised the alarm that there was an ongoing move to tamper with the records of WAEC and pressure the leadership into manufacturing a result for President Buhari.
“Today’s action of WAEC has vindicated our earlier fears and confirmed our stand that WAEC is now competing with Oluwole Market in manufacturing documents.”
