The APC presidential candidate, Rtd. Gen. Mohammadu Buhari has addressed the controversy surrounding his missing academic certificates at a press conference today, January 21st in Kano. While confirming that he does not own a copy because of the length of time that has passed, he promised to get one from the school if possible. He also said the focus of the election campaigns should be about more pressing issues like insecurity, unemployment, and corruption.
Good Morning, Gentlemen of the Press.
I only consented to address you this morning because of the genuine concern expressed by many supporters and other well-meaning Nigerians that that the issue be addressed. Otherwise, I would have dismissed it for what it is - sheer mischief and would not have considered it an issue worth the Nation's while.
