According to him, in response to Buhari’s claim, the Nigerian Army, through its spokesman, Brig Gen Olaleye Olajide, at a press conference held on January 20, 2015, stated that the Nigerian military was not in possession of Buhari’s certificates evidencing his educational qualification.
Okhai, in his affidavit, said he “reasonably believed that President Buhari has lied on oath where he claimed that his educational certificates are with the Nigerian Military Board.”
He urged the court to stop Buhari from contesting in next year’s presidential election.
The lawsuit, which was filed on Monday, has yet to be assigned to any judge and no date has been fixed.
