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.
