The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, has described those speaking on matters bothering on the President’s academic qualification as “idle people” who have run out of ideas, noting that the military had long ago admitted that it misplaced those certificates.
The certificate saga is a dead issue, only idle people will consider it,” Adesina told The Nation.
“It is something that had been laid to rest before the 2015 general elections,” he added.
“Those raising the issue (PDP and others) are idle and they have run out of ideas. They see defeat staring them in the face and they are desperate to cling to any straw. This issue was resolved before the 2015 election.
It is a matter of fact that when President Buhari and others joined the military, they took their original certificates from them. The military knew where they kept the original certificates of the President.
“In fact, a former Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Alani Akinrinade corroborated that the military collected the original certificates of all its officers. The PDP believes it is going to lose the elections, and they will lose, and it is raising dust over a dead issue.

“The military already said they lost the certificates. But does it mean that it did not exist that the President went to school, sat for examinations and passed; attended military courses and War College?
“It does not change the fact that the President rose through the ranks to become a Major-General in the Nigerian Army and a Military Head of State.
“Didn’t those opposed to President Buhari go to court over his certificate and lost before? They will still lose this time around. It is a dead issue.”
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Lanre Issa-Onilu, spoke along the same line of thought.
His words: “It is a dead issue. When PDP has something new to say, Nigerians will be ready to listen to the party.
