On ‘Prof.’ Oladipo and ‘semi-literate’ Buhari

Is Wale Oladipo actually an academic Professor or just a title he got from somewhere? Remember a magician who went with the name Professor ‘P’. Wale Oladipo. If at all he is a real professor, he should have checked the academic background of the man he described as semi-literate.
From best of my knowledge and little research I carried out on Buhari’s educational qualification, he attended the best military schools in the world. In case the ‘Professor’ doesn’t know, Buhari graduated from Royal Military Academy, Aldeshot UK and attended the Defense College in India. He also attended the US Army War College Carlisle in Pennsylvania from 1979-1980 and earned his command as a Brigadier-General. The respected General Collin Powel attended the same school in 1976. Some of Buhari’s classmates include General Beltson, General Thomas P. Carney, General Bill Matz, General David E.K. Cooper, etc.  
My appeal is that, if at all PDP’s Wale Oladipo should earn a reply to this unfortunate use of gutter language on Buhari, it should be by officers of the APC. Let the reply not be by the real Professor, Yemi Osinbajo, who is Buhari’s running mate. The research should include a proper research on Oladipo’s family, social and educational backgrounds.
Oladipo should be made to realize that if he considered PDP first, he should have known that the nation’s First Family would not attempt addressing Buhari in such gutter language. If this controversy is allowed to shape public discourse, which I am afraid it will, the presidency would be worse for it. Think of the unintelligent dispositions of President Goodluck Jonathan whenever he was interviewed in local and international electronic media, bereft of intelligence. Also consider the grammatical ‘shelling’ of Dame Patience Jonathan, etc. Sleeping dogs should be left alone.
