The leading opposition Party, PDP has The taken a swip on the presidency for their stand on the certificate of the President.
In a ststement by the PDP which was signed by the Party’s publicity Secretary, the party said that “the fretting and jittering in the Presidency whenever the issue of President @MBuhari’s academic certificate is mentioned confirms assertions by Nigerians that Mr. President is morally burdened and ostensibly has something to hide”.
The PDP made it clear that the threats by the presidency cannot take away the issue that the president must produce his certificate.
“The Presidency should know that their threats and confrontation cannot take away the fact that their principal’s certificate issue requires a personal responsibility and Mr. President cannot wish away this responsibility as he had always done on official matters”.
The statement continued;
“If Mr President has nothing to hide, he should end the confrontations by his presidency and show integrity by writing the military authorities to make public the said certificate”.
“In failing to do so, Mr. President is opening himself to public opprobrium particularly as millions of Nigerian youths see such as grossly undesirable of a leader, expected to set examples”.
“Moreover, President should know that Nigerians are aware that he is not the only retired military officer to aspire for elective office in the country and none of them brought the claims of their certificates being held by the military”.
