The Peoples Democratic Party has described the presentation of attestation certificate and confirmation of school certificate result to President Muhammadu Buhari as a tragicomedy .
Buhari had on Friday received his West Africa Examination Council certificate from Dr Iyi Uwadiae , the Registrar of WAEC .

National Publicity Secretary of the party , Mr . Kola Ologbodiyan , told journalists in Abuja that , the PDP did not expect the president to , “ come this low . ”

He said , “ it is a tragicomedy . We never expected Mr . President to dramatically come this low because you cannot have a certificate and be calling it an attestation . What are they attesting to ? We stand by our position that Mr . President has no school certificate .

“ it is simply a political certificate . We have said that the Buhari presidency and his handlers are always fretting at the mention of a certificate . So , they want to mislead Nigerians to say that Mr . President has a school certificate .

“ if Mr . President has a certificate , why did he not use it in 2015 election ? Why is the certificate suddenly emerging few months to the election ? And have you checked the photograph that was attached to the certificate ? In 1961 , was it the requirement of WAEC to have a passport attached to school certificate ?

“ Even in our own generation , was a condition in WAEC that you must submit your passport to be attached to your certificate ? They should come off it . It’ s too low .

“ You remember they procured Martin Luther Award presented to our president which later was discovered to be fake ? This is a similar award , a procured . We are waiting for the story of its declaration as another procured document . ”
