In a revelation from Femi Adesina's book, 'Working with Buhari: Reflections of a Special Adviser, Media and Publicity (2015 – 2023),' the former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to ex-President Buhari exposes the reasons behind Buhari's refusal to release his WAEC result during the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections.
Buhari, as stated in the book, deliberately withheld his West African School Certificate to allow critics to "please themselves." Despite public outrage and demands for his educational credentials, Buhari maintained that all his certificates were with the Secretary to the Military Board.
The book further details Buhari's assertion that he always had his certificate but chose not to release it, emphasizing that attending prestigious military institutions required passing the WASC examinations in 1961.
The disclosure sheds light on a long-standing controversy surrounding Buhari's educational records. Additionally, the book unveils insights into Buhari's stance on key issues such as personnel decisions and the handling of high-profile cases like Nnamdi Kanu's extradition.
