Abuja –Â Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said that President Muhammadu Buhari has something to hide over his certificate saga.
To this end, the party has challenged President Buhariâ€
s handlers to do the needful by placing the certificate in public domain instead of confronting and threatening Nigerians for demanding that Mr. President shows his certificate.
PDP, in a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that the fretting and jittering in the presidency whenever the issue of President Buhariâ€s academic certificate is mentioned confirms assertions by Nigerians that Mr. President is morally burdened and ostensibly has something to hide.
The party, in response to a statement credited to the Buhari Presidency alleging that those raising the certificate issue are sowing seeds of discord, added that Buhari presidency should know that their threats and confrontation cannot take away the fact that their principalâ€s certificate issue requires a personal responsibility and Mr. President cannot wish away this responsibility as he had always done on official matters.
“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 Buhari 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,� the party said.
PDP, therefore, held that President Buhari must show Nigerians his claimed school certificate upon which his nomination as a candidate is based, adding, ‘if he does not have this credential, he should make such declaration and stop the nebulous claim that his credentials are with the military.�
