Buhari and Atiku

According to a report by Vanguard, President Muhammdu Buhari, on Wednesday, maintained that no law in Nigeria required that he must produce his certificates to prove his eligibility to vie for presidency.

While adopting his final brief of argument in opposition to the petition the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, filed to nullify his re-election, President Buhari, argued that under the 1999 Constitution, he was only required to be educated.

He therefore urged the Presidential Election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja to dismiss the petition challenging his election and his educational qualifications, with substantial court, saying it lacked merit and substance.

"We need to make it very clear at this point that the Constitution and laws of the land do not expect any certificate to be tendered or attached," Buhari's lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, submitted
