Cambridge Denies offerring hausa Languages in 1961 says PDP

                  

The controversy sur­rounding the School cer­tificate of the former Head of State and presidential candidate of the All Pro­gressive candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari has continued unabated.
The University of Cam­bridge has said that Hausa Language, which is one of the subjects listed in the certificate of General Bu­hari, was not offered in its examinations in 1961.



The disclosure, accord­ing to a statement yester­day by the Peoples Demo­cratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO, was contained in an e-mail dated Thurs­day, January 22, 2015 from the institution’s Archives Delivery Service Officer, Jacky Emerson, to one So­diq Alabi, who requested for confirmation if the examination body offered Hausa Language in the 1961 West African Certificate Examination it organised

However, the spokesman of the APC’s presidential campaign, Alhaji Garba Shehu, told Daily Times on Sunday night that there was no reason to offer any response to Fani-Kayode’s claims.


He said: “We said it last week, that Fani-Kayode does not deserve any fur­ther response from us.”
The PDPPCO, in the statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, said, “Emerson, in his one-sentence reply, said: According to the Regula­tions for 1961, African Lan­guage papers, including those for Hausa, were not included for West African School Certificate.”

“This development may have further cast doubts on the certificate which is pur­ported to be General Bu­hari’s”, Fani-Kayode said.


General Buhari is yet to react to the assertion by the PDP that the published certificate was forged and illegally procured

The Campaign Organisa­tion had, through Fani-Kay­ode, pointed out a number of alleged inconsistencies in the document at a press conference last Thursday in Abuja.
Fani-Kayode had, among other things, pointed out the alteration on Math­ematics, which he said General Buhari must have failed, adding that since that was the case, the for­mer Head of State should not have been enlisted in the military as a commis­sioned officer, having failed to satisfy the requirement of pass at credit level in Mathematics.
He said at best, Buhari should have been enlisted as a non-commissioned of­ficer
