Incumbent Vice President and running mate of the President Goodluck
Jonathan for the upcoming 2015 election, Mohammed Namadi Sambo says his
academic certificates no longer exist…..oh please!
He told the Independent National Electoral Commission that his
Bachelors and Masters degrees certificates in Architecture from the
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, have been consumed by fire, yet refused
to give details of the ‘fire incident’.
He made the declaration in two documents he filed with INEC and displayed on the commission’s office in Abuja.
The first letter, signed by one Alhassan Garba for the institution’s
registrar under the title, “To Whom it may Concern: Mohammed Namani
Sambo,” read, “I certify that the above-named person having completed an
approved course of study and passed the prescribed examinations was
awarded the Bachelor of Science (Architecture) with Second Class Honours
(Lower Division) in 1976 by the Senate of this University. His original
certificate got burnt. Please treat his case in view of this
certification. Thank you.”
The second letter, also signed by Garba for the ABU registrar, read,
“I certify that the above-named person having completed an approved
course of study and passed the prescribed examinations was awarded the
Master of Science (Architecture) on May 25, 1978 by the Senate of this
University. His original certificate got burnt. Please treat his case in
view of this certification. Thank you.”
