Yul Edochie has reacted to the Presidential Election
Petition Tribunal verdict which struck out Atiku Abubakar and People's
Democractic Party's petition of President Muhammadu Buhari not being qualified
to contest in the 2019 Presidential election over his educational
qualification.
The tribunal had in
its ruling said that Mr Buhari’s certificate from the Nigerian military is
higher than the Secondary School certificate which is the minimum academic
requirement for the election in the constitution.
“Mr Buhari is not
only qualified but is eminently qualified” for the election, chairman of the
Court of Appeal panel said.
Reacting to the
tribunal's judgement, Yul Edochie recounted how he had to attach all his
certificates up to his university degree to his form when he contested in the
2017 Anambra Governorship election.
The Nollywood actor
queried the Nigerian judiciary on the verdict which meant he doesn't need those
certificates to become the President, which is the highest political office in
the country.
He tweeted;
When I ran for Governor I had to gather all my certificates
up to my University degree and attach them to my form. Now you people are
telling me I don’t even need those certificates to be President??? The highest
office in the country? Chai! Nigerian judiciary diaris God oo!
