The Deputy Registrar of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Mr Oshindeinde Henry Adewunmi was in the witness box of Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in a legal tussle between President Muhammadu Buhari and the PDP Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday.
Mr Adewunmi was the first witness of the day at the Election Tribunal to produce the evidence of Buhari’s WAEC result.
He confirmed the copy of the University of Cambridge school certificate tendered by Buhari on Tuesday was what he certified.
The witness, who said he has been with WAEC for 30 years, confirmed that by the result, Buhari sat for eight subjects and scored five credits.
He gave details as English C5, History C3, Geography C6, Hausa C5, Health Science C6.
The witness said a person with such a certificate cannot be said not to have attended secondary school.
The petitioners – Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – are challenging Buhari’s election at the last presidential election on among other grounds, qualification.
The petitioners are claiming the President did not have a school certificate for him to be qualified to run for election.
