Following the recent controversy surrounding Gen Buhari's
WASC certificate, some of the former classmates of the
APC presidential candidate yesterday came out to defend
him.
During his media briefing yesterday, Gen. Buhari mentioned
two prominent Nigerians he went to school with, former
president of the Court of Appeal, Justice Umaru Abdullahi
and former inspector-general of police, Alhaji Ibrahim
Coomassie.
The two men have spoken to the media confirming that they
indeed went to school together.
In an exclusive interview with Leadership Newspapers , Alhaji
Coomasie said they & about 5 prominent Nigerians attended
the same school.
Coomasie said Buhari was the head boy and loved to play
football during their days in school.
He mentioned the former PCA Justice Abdullahi; Gen Shehu
Musa Yar’Adua; the late Grand Khadi Halilu, and a Second
Republic senator Abdul Ali as some of their classmates.
Coomassie said:
“While we were in school, Buhari was the head boy. He loves
playing football. We were all close friends in school. After we
finished secondary school, General Buhari decided to join the
military, I joined the police and Justice Abdullahi decided to go
to the university.”
“I, the late Shehu Yar’Adua, the late Halilu, a Grand Khadi in
Katsina, Senator Abdul Ali, a Senator in the 2nd Republic and
several other attended the same school”
On his part, Justice Abdullahi described Buhari as a brilliant
student when they were in school, saying he was Buhari’s
classmate from primary to secondary school, saying:
“I, Buhari and some others had the best results during our
final examinations in secondary school back then. He was a
very brilliant student in school, no doubt; we attended the
same school from primary to secondary school.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
