2015:Buhari Is Not Qualified To Contest..Fani Kayode

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council yesterday accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of covering up the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, over his failure to submit his certificates and credentials as demanded by the law.

The presidential campaign team of the ruling party further declared that Gen. Buhari was not qualified for the 2015 election since he has not submitted his certificate to INEC.

Following reports that he did not submit his certificate to INEC, Buhari had explained in an affidavit he deposed before an Abuja High Court, that all his certificates were with the Secretary, Military Board.

The affidavit was dated November 24, 2014 and was stamped and received by INEC on December 18, 2014.

But addressing a press conference yesterday, director of publicity of the PDP presidential campaign council, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, said INEC erred in law by publishing the name of a candidate without receiving the personal particulars of the candidate within seven days of receiving his nomination forms as indicated in section 31(3).

He further said from records made available, Buhari did not submit any credentials in 2011 and previous elections he had contested in.
