Buhari Should be Flogged for Forging His Certificate - Sammie Okposo

Popular Nigerian Gospel Artist took to his Instagram page to give his own view on the controversial WASC saga of the APC's presidential candidate, Gen Buhari. Sammy Okposo view is that whoever or even the GMB himself should be flogged for forging his own certificate.

 

See what he posted below..

"From perjury to forgery: Buhari or whoever forged that certificate needs to be flogged. Prior to the formation of a central govt by Gowon, all regions had separate curriculums. Only the western region offered a local language in both their curriculum and WASC! It was after a central govt was formed and a universal educational curriculum was developed and adopted which included other local languages in 1974! So which WASC did Buhari write in 1961 that included Hausa?
