A suit seeking to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from
contesting the 2019 presidential election over his failure to
produce his West African School Certificate, WASC result has
been filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the West
African Examination Council (WAEC) and the All Progressives
Congress (APC) were listed as defendants in the court action
initiated by the Chairman of Action Peoples Party APP, Imo
Ugochinyere.
The court action came as the plaintiff in another statement
alleged a move by government officials to tamper with the
records at WAEC by generating a computer generated result meant
to deceive the public. He thus urged WAEC to sustain its age
long record for integrity.
Ugochinyere who is also the national spokesman of the Coalition
of United Political Parties (CUPP), in his statement of claims
accompanying the suit affirmed that the rules must not be bent
for anyone contesting for political office.
President Buhari had in his nomination papers deposed that all
his credentials were the military.
Among other orders, the plaintiff is asking for an order of the
Court to compel WAEC to produce a certified true copy of the
ledger of all the students of the Provincial Secondary School,
Katsina who sat for the 1961 examination alongside Buhari.
He is also asking the court to nullify the INEC publication of
President Buhari’s name as one of the candidates for the 2019
election on the claim that he lacks the minimum requirement for
the office and did not provide any evidence of his been educated
up to at least school certificate level or its equivalent.
Ugochinyere has meanwhile raised the alarm over what he
yesterday claimed as moves by chieftains of the APC party to
tamper with records in WAEC and upload a computer generated
result to deceive the public.
He called on WAEC “to preserve their age long integrity by
resisting any move to doctor the results of students who sat for
the 1961 exam”.
“This desperate last minute attempt by the APC leadership is to
avert the disgrace and humiliation their candidate will suffer
at the ongoing law suit which they have no defense.”
