Buhari: Cancer report about me is fake, addresses debate on educational qualification

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), says the cancer medical report that surfaced online yesterday January 18th 2015 is fake and has also been refuted by the authorities of the Ahmadu Bello Teaching hospital who purportedly issued the medical report.

Buhari addressed the issue while speaking to journalist yesterday

"The Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital said the documents are forged. This desperation is beyond my comprehension. The issue we are letting Nigerians know is that there has been much corruption in this country in the last 16 years. The Peoples Democratic Party has literally destroyed this country. There were reports that I was to jet out for medical check-up yesterday (Saturday) but here I am. I was in Nasarawa and Benue states yesterday (Saturday) and tomorrow January 19^th, I will be in two states. The day after tomorrow, Tuesday January 20th, I will be in two more states. I sincerely don’t know how they got the impression that I was sick. I had a cold but it did not stop me from going through my schedule' he said

He also addressed the debate on his educational qualification

“I have contested three times under the same rules set by the INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) where there is a basic educational qualification you must have. I was allowed to contest all these elections because my certificate was in order and there were individuals that wrote to the United States War College and the college answered them and they were published in the newspapers. So, I really don’t understand this desperation or misinformation that is being passed around. They will do nobody any good because our minds are being taken away from the serious issues of corruption and incompetence by the PDP.” he said
