—

“When has photograph become certiificate”, they queried

Nigerians have reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Bashir Ahmad, who posted a photograph showing the president among his classmates at their Katsina Provincial School in 1961.

In the photograph, Buhari is seated fifth from left, with two White men presumed to be their school officials. But Ahmad received lot of backlash from Nigerians for posting the photograph, with many asking if the image was posted in lieu of Buhari’s certificate Nigerians are yearning for.

Read reactions below:

When did he even change his name from "Mohamed" to "Muhammadu"?

Dangote group advertised for my dream position but it would require a MSC to apply, now that @BashirAhmaad has given me an idea, all i need do is present a picture of me in an MSC class and voila, i am qualified.

For occupying these positions without the minimum requirement and knowing fully well he doesn't have it, the guy deserve to go to prison if Nigeria is a serious country. What a shame…. Smh

First, according to the picture, the person referred is Mohamed Buhari and not Mohammadu Buhari. Secondly, when has pictures become a certificate. We are asking for the certificate he got after the picture and not the picture. I thought you claim to be a journalist? OKPO!

Thanks for teaching us that the next time we are called for interview, going with certificate is not necessary. Just find your school picture and show them

The question is not going to school but have a certificate to show. Many passed through a college but they are not a student. Contradicting statements from most witnesses. 1961 another 1962, which is the real truth?
