Buhari passed Cambridge/ WASCE, says
Defence Minister  0 BY OUR REPORTER ON JANUARY 25, 2015 COVER The Minister of Defence, General Aliyu
Gusau, another schoolmate of General
Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that
the presidential candidate of the All Pro­
gressives Congress in forthcoming
February 14 election actually sat for and passed Cambridge/ WASC examination in
1961. Gusau gave this affirmation in an
interview he granted to an online medium,
Greenbarge Reporters.com. He said: “You know that I’m not a
politician but the truth needs to be told
that I have known Buhari since 1960. He
passed through the school that I also
attended. He sat for his Cambridge/ WASC
examination and came out with Division 2. He then joined the Army, rose to become
Major General and Head of State.” The Defence Minister spoke in response to
the dust raised by the initial inability of
Buhari to present his school certificate to
the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, thereby setting off a
firestorm of disapproving comments from a broad spectrum of Nigerians, even as
many others stoutly rose to his defence
over the matter. Gusau wondered why the old students
association of the school, had not
promptly risen to defend Buhari over the
allegations. “We had just formed an association of old
students of Katsina Provincial School,
right from when it was a Middle School till
date. And His Royal Highness, the Emir of
Katsina, who is an ex-student of the
school, invited some of us as the rep­ resentatives of different sets, to his palace
and we decided to even form a secretariat.
I thought that the secretariat of our
association should have clarified the
status of Buhari’s certificates long before
it took this dimension, Gusau said.” He recalled that he met General Buhari in the
Katsina Provincial Secondary School when
he was enrolled into the School in January
1960, the year Nigeria gained Inde­
pendence. “General Buhari, at that time was in form
five. I stayed two years with General
Buhari at the school. They passed out in
1961 and we passed out in 1964. Buhari
had leadership qualities since secondary
school; in form five, he was a House Prefect. “Their set went up to form six but we were
the first set that finished school at form
five. Normally, out of those in form five,
the school authorities used to pick House
Prefects and when they get to form six,
House Captains were chosen from those who were House Prefects. In Buhari’s case,
he was a House Prefect in 1960 when we
joined. By 1961, when he was in form six,
he was chosen to be the Head Boy of the
School. “There were four Houses during our time
in the school; Magaji House, Kaura House,
Alkali House and Durbi House. Buhari was
the House Prefect of Magaji House in
1960, Justice Umaru Abdullahi was the
House Prefect of Alkali House, the late Mamman A Zango, who became a
policeman, was House Prefect of Kaura
House while the late General Shehu Musa
Yar’Adua was House Prefect of Durbi
House. By 1961, all of them became the
House Captains of their respective Houses but Buhari became the Head Boy.” source: sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=101751
