A Rejoinder to Semi-Illiterate PDP Secretary Prof. Wale Oladipo By Dr.M.K.Hassan. I was shocked to read a press statement from Wadata Plaza issued by a so called Professor Wale Oladipo,secretary of the PDP,saying that General Muhammadu Buhari is a semi-illeterate jack boot. It is no wonder that our education system has fallen so low,else how can one explain as a Professor to start with? It is quite astonishing that he can say this. The Professor doesnt seem to understand the basic rudiments of learning and what it means for one to be literate or not. Prof. Wale Oladipo,PDP National secretary Buhari attended the best military schools in the world. In case the Professor doesnt know,Buhari graduated as a military officer (Lieutenant) in Royal military academy, Aldeshot UK. He attended The Defense Collage India. Col. Buhari attended the U.S. Army War Collage in Pennsylvania from 1979-1980 and earned his command as Brigadier General. The respected General Collin Powel attended the same school in 1976 to become Brigadier General. Some of Buharis class mates include, General Beltson,General Thomas P. Carney,General Bill Matz,General David E.K.Cooper e.t.c. All of them are alive and can be reached and they will give a glowing tributes of the man,Buhari,they know as their class mate. Any one interested in verifying Buharis academic credentials can write the school instead of reading a jargon from a deranged Wadata Plaza Professor of Politics of Destruction Party (PDP). I have checked Google Scholar hoping that Prof.Wale Oladipos name and publications will show up,that says a lot about him as a Professor than Buhari as a retired decorated General who served the country so well and was not claimed any scholarship. The Curriculum at the U.S. Army War Collage earns a one Masters degree in Strategic Studies and that is what Buhari has. For some body to claim that a graduate of such prestigious school semi-illeterate means somthing is wrong with that persons brain. By all academic and military standard Buharis education is superb and the best any General can get in the world. Therefore,for a Wale Oladipo to claim Buhari as a semi-illiterate speaks volumes about his understanding of what education is even all about. The unlearned Professor thinks education is about earning a paper degrees only,and even if it was the case,Buhari has them from the most respected military institutions in the world. General Muhammadu Buhari has the kind of military strategic education and experiences to deal decisive blow on the Boko Haram and end the insecurity challenges facing Nigeria.Buhari is the only officer with the opportunity to command 3 out of 4 Nigerias army divisions as a GOC. In 1983,when rebels from Chad took over land,seizing more than 19 villages(much like what Boko Haram doing now) Major General Buhari led a successful operation as the GOC to push back the Chadian rebels and reclaim our territory. In 1984,when the Maitatsine sect decided to declare war on Nigeria like what Boko Haram is doing now,Head of state Muhammadu Buhari,wasted no time in crushing them. Boko Haram is a descendents of Maitatsine sect with the same extremist ideology and anti-western education philosophy. It is surely that President Buhari will be able to handle them:eliminating these terrorist when he comes to power like he did before. Muhammadu Buhari as a Captain fought in the Congo civil war and won the Congo medal,he was there during our civil war to bring peace and keep Nigeria one.that is true patrioti;a man that gave his life to another country not only his father land. Since the goons in Wadata Plaza have started the literacy debate,it is appropriate to ask them that they should produce Dr.Goodluck Jonathans Ph.D thesis and publications in renowned journals. Jonathans speeches,attitude,and interviews with international media dont portray him as a Ph.D holder. His past interviews with Christiane Amanpoor was quite embrassing;he couldnt even make an eye contact with her. Nigerians are eager this thesis and publications. In Conclusion,it is obvious to all fNigerians that the PDP government and its illiterate professor are only interested in playing dirty politics with the lives and properties of Nigerians. Nigerians now need Buhari,a man with international military education and experience,a seasoned administrator with zero tolerance for corruption to end this insecurity,bring prosperity and place Nigeria at the seat it deserves among the comity of Nations.
