The former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has revealed why the ex-president refused to release his WAEC result during the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections.
Adesina revealed in his book, titled, ‘Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015 – 2023),’ that Buhari said he deliberately refused to release his West African School Certificate to allow “those venting spleen on it” to “please themselves.”
Towards the build-up to the 2019 general elections, there was another public outrage following Buhari’s refusal to submit his educational certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Buhari said all his credentials were with the Secretary to the Military Board, having given the same excuse in 2015.
