The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the recent attempt by President Muhammadu Buhari to launder his WAEC certificate scandal as the highest form of corruption and decadence.
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Kola Ologbondiyan, the Party said: “The Presidency displayed the highest form of corruption and decadence by involving in manipulations, forgery and lies in an attempt to hoodwink Nigerians with bogus claims even when it had become clear that Mr. President does not possess the claimed WAEC certificate.”
The Party noted that there was nothing more humiliating to the nation than the Presidency being entangled in “high-level of international corruption involving the name and personality of the President, the latest being the procuring and parading of fake WAEC certificate attestation.”
It lamented further: “This development has further worsened the image of the President whose administration is overburdened by allegations of enormous financial corruption and which has not been able to provide explanation for the over N10 trillion siphoned under his watch,particularly in the oil and gas sector.

The statement said further: “The world now knows why the Buhari Presidency lacks the rectitude to fight corruption and the reason it has been harbouring liars, fraudulent individuals including certificate forgers both in ministerial and other top government positions as well as running the most corrupt administration in the history of our nation.”
The PDP called on Nigerians to continue to be alert and united in their “determination to vote out this incompetent, deceitful, duplicitous and disconnected and overly corrupt Buhari administration, which has brought so much anguish and shame to our nation.”
Recall that President Buhari’s lack of a WACE certificate has been a sore issue, which the opposition has been capitalising on to call for his disqualification from the 2019 Presidential election.
Recall also that the Registrar of WAEC , Dr. Iyi Uwadiea had on Friday, November 2, presented the President with a certificate of attestation.
