‘Pass in English and Maths’- Reactions as Peter Obi’s WAEC Certificate Surfaces

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) certificate of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has appeared online.

Oseloka Obaze and Jack Obinyan, both significant LP chieftains, accepted the award.

Obi’s university degree and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate were also made public on the internet.

On Wednesday, October 11th, Obaze, the Anambra state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2017 election, commented on his recognized X (previously Twitter) handle:

“As Americans say; ‘Trust But Verify.’ Here are @peterobi’s WASC, BA and NYSC certificates all verified: Nothing Bogus; Nothing Forged; and Nothing Ambigous.

“The fundamentals of leadership is intergrity and transparency. “Comparably, verified documents from CSU raised more questions!”

Similarly, Obinyan, a former Senior Special Adviser on New Media to Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state, commented on Facebook:

“GO AND VERIFY! “Peter Obi’s WAEC (1978), Degree (1984) and NYSC (1985).”

Check out some reactions to the public release of Obi’s WAEC certificate:

Martin Okorowu wrote on X: “Obi did not make credit in his English and Mathematics in SSCE which are prerequisites to gaining admission to study Philosophy in the University Of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN. How come he got admission? UNN needs to explain how Obi got admitted.”

Boye Onifade said: “So it’s PASS he had in Government? No wonder he couldn’t win.”

Ime Obot wrote: “You didn’t include no third party vendor aka oluwole issuing a certificate not approve authorised by the issuing authority.”
