Forgery: WAEC made clerical errors on Buhari’s certificate – Keyamo

The Director of Communications of the Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign Organization, Festus Keyamo SAN, may be admitting certain flaws in the West African Senior School Certificate Attestation the West African Examination Council (WAEC) issued President Muhammadu Buhari last week, and profitably providing fresh clue that the certificate  may not be  genuine as widely contested across the country.

Keyamo in a tweet disputed that the certificate was forged but acknowledged that the Council could make mistakes or clerical errors (which perhaps could have reflected) on the President’s attestation certificate; albeit, he noted that he was not conceding to the error perception.

Keyamo contended that WAEC which has authority to issue the certificate cannot forge the document it has authority to issue.   

“The dumbest comments I’ve read about the now dead issue of PMB’s WAEC result is to say WAEC forged its own document. Where there’s ONLY ONE body authorized by  law to issue a document, it can only make mistakes or clerical errors on it (I don’t concede that here) but cannot forge it,” Keyamo declared.

The controversial attestation certificate has been generating controversies across the country since its issuance to President Buhari last week, raising insinuations of forgery.

President Buhari had submitted an affidavit to the Independent National| Electoral Commission (INEC) while submitting his nomination form as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2019 general elections, claiming that his credentials are with the Nigerian Army. Pressures from the controversies teh affidavit generated, perhaps, led to the arrangements for the controversial attestation school certificate issued by the WAEC.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had raised alarm of forgery of the President’s certificate.

Saraki appeals to FG, Labour to avert National  Strike

The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has appealed to both the Federal Government and the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC)/Trade Union Congress (TUC) to work together in order to avert the proposed workers’ strike in the interest of Nigeria.

Saraki, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, urged the two sides to demonstrate sensitivity and concern for the plight of ordinary Nigerians who are already battling with the harsh economic conditions in the country.

He expressed appreciation for the patience displayed by the labour leaders as he noted that the issue of the new minimum wage could have been resolved long before now.

“My Appeal is for the two sides to immediately move fast, shift from their extreme positions and create a new middle ground in the negotiations for the new minimum wage. The shift in positions can be done even before the period of the commencement of the proposed strike action so that we do not further create tension within the economy.

“At this point, the interest of the people should be paramount in our minds. Any labour strike will cause inconvenience and discomfort to our people. While the government and labour are representing the interest of the people, it is important to also ensure we avoid any action that will not show sensitivity and sensibility to the plight of the people”, Saraki stated.
