This is getting serious as just yesterday it was reported that President Jonathan running mate and Vice President of the country, Arch. Namadi Sambo had disclosed that all his academic credentials (BSc, MSc) were destroyed in a fire incident sometimes ago.

Again BlackBox Nigeria has obtained as being reported by a popular national newspaper that the candidate of the opposition APC also do not have his academic credentials. General Buhari it was reported told INEC that his academic certificates are with the Nigerian Military which he served before venturing into politics. Buhari whose qualifications was not displayed alongside other candidates at the INEC headquarters disclosed that his certificates were with the Secretary, Military Board.

He swore in an affidavit made available to INEC that "I am the above-named person and deponent to this affidavit therein. All my academic qualifications documents as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015, are currently with the Secretary, Military Board as of the time of presenting this affidavit. The affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose."

While this might necessarily not be an issue considering the fact that the General rose to the very top in the Nigerian military, one wonders if it is the trend for military personells to submit their original certificates with the Army and not get it back even after leaving the military.

The Presidential elections comes up on February 14 and although there are 13 candidates, it is generally believed that the main battle is between incumbent President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of the PDP and General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC.
