Atiku's academic qualifications & tax records intact with INEC...still no show from Buhari
Various candidates’ credentials have been made available to journalists at INEC's office in Abuja and incumbent president, Buhari again failed to attach necessary supporting documents, insisting that they were in the custody of the military.
In the affidavit which he swore to, Buhari said, “I am the above named person and the deponent of this affidavit herein. All my academic qualification documents as filled in my Presidential form, APC/001/2015 are currently with the Secretary of the Military Board as of the time of this affidavit.
On his part, Atiku submitted all relevant documents, with a Diploma in Law in 1969 from the Ahmadu Bello University being his highest qualification.
The former Vice-President also attached tax returns indicating that he had paid N10.8m in tax from 2015 to 2017 while declaring his income within the period as N60.2m.
Almost 80 out of the 91 political parties will present presidential candidates during the 2019 Presidential elections. A visit to the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) office at the FCT Abuja revealed that over 78 names had been posted.
Some of the candidates include: President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Obadiah Mailafia of the African Democratic Congress, and former Governor Donald Duke of the Social Democratic Party.
