The Centre for Human Rights
and Social Justice (CHRSJ) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the New Defense Minister and the authority of the Nigeria Army to bring out the controversial Senior Secondary School Certificate (SSCE) of the President and Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari.
The Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice stated that this has become necessary following a recent statement credited to the new Defence Minister, Monsur Dan-Ali over disappearance of the purported original Secondary School Certificate of General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd),
In a statement issued and signed by the CHRSJ’s Executive Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman, he warned that failure of President Buhari to order the authority of Nigerian Army as their Commander-in-Chief, to release his original Senior School Certificate, which he used to be enlisted in the Army, would amount to “blatant lie of the highest order from the acclaimed incorruptible President.”
According to the human rights group President Buhari has become elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria now and he is the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces, no Military authority will have the temerity to keep his Military Service file now.
The group urged the President not to hesitate to order the Miltary to bring out his original controversial Secondary School Certificate now within seven days for doubting Thomas to see.
Sulaiman in the statement noted that: “Following the recent statement credited to the new Defence
Minister, Monsur Dan-Ali over disappearance of the purported original Secondary School Certificate of General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in the custody of Nigeria Army,
which General Buhari claimed to be with the Country’s Military authority, prior to the 2015 presidential election.”
He maintained in the statement that: “We believe that if you are preaching equity, you must come with clean hands. Failure to bring the Certificate out within the stipulated time would tantamount to the country being governed by the un-certificated President and former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Kenneth Minimah will be vindicated for saying the truth that the controversial Buhari’s
certificate was not with the authority of the Nigeria Army
then and new Defence Minister, Monsur Dan-Ali, will be disappointed”.
The group however said it will not
hesitate to write the International Communities as being empowered by the Freedom of Information Act, to prevail on the authority of the Nigeria Army to bring out the controversial original Secondary School Certificate of Mr. President, explaining that the human rights group would not allow the Nigeria Army and President Muhammadu Buhari to lay down bad precedent in our democratic system.
