THE West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says the examination record of President Muhammadu Buhari has always been with the council, and that it is just that the president had not requested for it officially, until last week.
Sunday Tribune recalls that on Friday, the registrar of the examination body, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, led a delegation from WAEC, including its Head of National Office, Nigeria, to the State House in Abuja to present an attestation of result to the president.

The development received a lot of media attention, and elicited several comments, including from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, which has insisted that the president never sat for WAEC’s examination, and that what was delivered in Abuja was a procured political document akin to the Martin Luther King Award presented to the president last year.
However, speaking with Sunday Tribune on telephone on Saturday, the Head of WAEC’s Public Affairs in Nigeria, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu, said the president did write the examination, and that the council has his examination record.
There had been claims too that the 1961 examination in the northern region of Nigeria was conducted by the Cambridge University Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), and not WAEC, therefore questioning the appropriateness of WAEC issuing an attestation for an examination it did not conduct.
To this, Mr Ojijeogu simply asked: “The question implies that when Cambridge finished conducting the exam, they went with the records? There was no handover?”
The WAEC’s spokesman said the current controversy over the president’s examination record would not have arisen if he (Buhari) had applied for it much earlier.
He said: “He (Buhari) didn’t come for it. And it’s only he or the court that can compel us to produce the result.
“We have (President) Buhari’s record with us. He didn’t come for it, till last week that he applied. He has the record with us; it has always been there.
“Had it been at the heat of that election (2015) he had approached WAEC, we would have given attestation or even confirmed that result to INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) then. That would have rested it.”
Ojijeogu also sneered at the claim that a certain group, Move on Nigeria, once contacted the Accra office of WAEC and obtained a letter claiming that Buhari’s record could not be found there.
“How can they find his record in Ghana? How can the examination record of a Nigerian be found in Ghana? And how can a Ghanaian record be found in Nigeria?” He asked.
But there’s no certificate number on his attestation certificate when there should be one?

“WAEC didn’t offer Hausa language as a subject in 1961. It was introduced in 1975”
Over to Buhari supporters.
Since it is Buhari you will have to swear all your life this useless set of Nigerians will not believe you

At 49, Gowon got his PhD. At 80, Obasanjo got his PhD. At 75, Buhari is still looking for his WAEC Certificate. ?
Oluwole WAEC! It’s time to ban WAEC!
Buhari remove your cap let’s c if you’re bald or not. Jibrin must be exposed. #OperationRemoveYourCapBuharii
Big lie
Before nko? What would you say when you don’t want to loose your job?
Mad Men and liars. How come he couldn’t access it in 2015 while he was in court to defend non existing certificate, and of a sudden the certificate is now available with WAEC even when it was not WAEC who conducted the exam
The one he wrote at the age of ten abi?
He got a form 6 to join the army, in 1961 it should be Cambridge and not waec… Waec has been redicled
WAEC board has proofed to Nigerians, how sincere they’re to all the result they have been released, Nigeria is gone if drastic measures are not taking.

Why have you not provided it before now to avoid this unnecessarily complicated tension arising from this issue
Ever since Mr President said it’s with the military and his original copy was taken away from his house in 1985,as a result of the coup that toppled his military government?
God bless Dr SULA who save me from hepatitis b virus with his herbal medicine you can also call him for help or whatsapp him +2349020549018
The more WAEC insists,the more anti-Buharis’ disagree. The same thing happened when the Principal of his former school issued to him Statement of Results in 2015.
Even if the Military could not produce the original credentials, the same military had made public the details of subjects and results obtained as entered in his Record of Service as at the time he was recruited into the army.
Yet opposition cannot see any correlation and factuality from the three parties from where the truth can be verified because of politics. This is nothing but a smear campaign.
Make it available to press

Money is talking not waec
Even the certificate itself is saying am not original but fake.
Lolz..Weac ND drama
Since you WAEC is claiming you have Buhari’s WAEC record, how comes the Attestation Result has no Original Certificate number?
On that Attestation of Results, you WAEC stated Buhari wrote the WAEC in Kastina State, for your information, Kastina State was created on Wednesday 23rd September 1987 from Kaduna State. You said Buhari wrote the WAEC in 1961 in Kastina State, there was no Kastina State in 1961, how comes?
Ghana the main headquarters of WAEC has said they have no record of Buhari writing WAEC in 1961, how comes you do?
please,what is the old man picture doing on the certificate?Does it mean that Buhari recently wrote the exams or???
shut up .
