The Nigerian Army on Tuesday January 20, publicly released the academic records of former military leader and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, but denied at the same time it could not vouch for the authenticity of his Senior Secondary Examinations results.Speaking to the media, Olajide Laleye, the Army Spokesperson, reversed the Army’s earlier position that it had copies of Mr. Buhari’s West African Secondary School Certificate.According to Premium Times, Mr. Laleye said while military records showed Gen. Buhari obtained the WASC in 1961, with credits in English Language, Geography, History, Health Science, and Hausa, there were neither the original copy nor certified true copy nor statement of result to confirm the grades.He also said the Army could not confirm whether Gen. Buhari’s claim of obtaining those results was verified by the Army in the 1960s.But military sources say while the Army spokesperson was addressing the media, the Department of Military Secretary the same day was dispatching to Buhari his academic records, which had been requested by the retired general.PREMIUM TIMES obtained copies of the records showing the military duly noted that Gen. Buhari obtained the requisite WASC qualifications.SEE BUHARI'S FULL CONFIDENTIAL RECORDS:
