Buhari Certificate Saga: Army Spokesman Laleye Redeployed

Category: Nigerian National New



Do you know that the Nigerian Army spokesperson who addressed a press conference on Tuesday to announce that the army could not find General Buhari’s school certificate in its records, had already been redeployed from that post? He suspended his redeployment just to make that statement against Buhari.


Besides, those documents had just been released to General Buhari, less than 24 hours after the former Head of State requested them, and the sources said they were surprised Brigadier Olaleye Lajide was addressing the press.

He was supposed to have handed over to his successor, Colonel SK Usman, and assumed duty as the Brigade Commander of the Fourth Brigade Battalion in Benin City, Edo State.

Of the documents, Buhari’s aides said the presidential candidate had not had a chance to look at them since they were sent to his office in Abuja last night by one Major General Abba, while he was busy preparing for campaigns in Kano and Jigawa States.


Sahara Reporters sources said it was unclear why Brigadier Olaleye, rather than hand over to Colonel Usman, chose to call a press conference to discuss Buhari’s certificates.

Meanwhile, Buhari has called a press conference of his own for tomorrow morning. Garba Shehu, Director of Media and Publicity in the APC presidential campaign, said the General will speak about the certificate controversy.
