RESULT: GROUP MOVES TO OBTAIN GCE FORM FOR SENATOR ADELEKE
A group, Grassroot Movement for Buhari/Osinbajo on Tuesday,
declared it’s resolve to obtain West African Examination Council, GCE, form for
the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Sen. Ademola
Adeleke.
The group, at a press conference in Osogbo, the Osun State
capital, said the lawmaker needed the external examination as a matter of
importance.
According to its Southwest Zonal Coordinator, Comrade Ajayi Taiwo,
“It is indeed an affront on the intelligence of the people of Osun for anyone
who does not possess Ordinary Level Certificate to vie for an exalted position
of a governor.
“Our organisation, through the Executive arm, under the leadership
of the Director General, High Chief Igho Osiebe, and the BOT Chairman, Dr Bola
Yusuf, in conjunction with Osun State Coordinator, Comrade Bello Moshood, have
raised money and purchased a GCE form for Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke,
which will be delivered by a Courier service (DHL) immediately after this press
conference.
“Anyone who does not possess the Ordinary Level Certificate can’t
prioritize education if elected as a Governor.
“You can’t give what you don’t have. It is gross embarrassment to
have a governor without Ordinary Level Certificate.
“Sen. Ademola Adeleke should apologize to the people of the state
before withdrawing from the Governorship contest. Secondly, he must tender his
apology to the Senate of Federal Republic of Nigeria for misleading the Senate
with a forged result,” the group alleged.
Just last week, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has given an
order mandating the West African Examination Council (WAEC), through its
Director General or any other designated officer of the council to depose to an
affidavit confirming or denying that Senator Adeleke sat for the Senior
Secondary School Certificate Examination conducted by the council at Ede Muslim
High School, Osun state in May/June 1981.
The court also gave an order compelling
WAEC through any of its any designated officers, to produce the ledger
containing the results of all candidates that sat for the Senior Secondary
School Certificate Examination conducted by the council at Ede
Muslim High School, Osun state in May/June 1981, within five days of being
served the order.
