TOKIN ABOUT BUHARI EN CERTIFICATE HERE....IT GOIN BEYOUND EXPECTATION The cardinal pillar of democracy is the sovereignty of the people; a feature which suggests that what matters most in a democracy is people. Everything is done on their behalf and for them making it crucial for them to know what is proposed or being done or has already been done for them. Therefore, in order that people are never left in the dark, everything must be explained to them. It is against this backdrop that we welcome the recent exposure by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of the alleged certificate saga of General Muhammadu Buhari, the Presidential flag bearer of the main opposi tion party, the All Progressive Congress (APC). Even if the PDP was out for mischief or to score a political point, the nation has much to gain from the resolution of the saga. To dismiss the issue by describing it as a distraction is wrong because every Presidential candidate has a legal obligation to possess a minimum of the West African School Certificate. If General Buhari does not have it, he cannot qualify to contest a Presidential election in Nigeria. It is immaterial that he had been “allowed” previously to contest such an election.
