On Professor Wale Oladipo and the ‘semi-illiterate Muhammadu Buhari’

Since he has not retracted the unfortunate statement, he has further portrayed the PDP in bad light. I am a supporter of the PDP, but if this statement credited to its national secretary remains, it will neither do the party any good nor win elections for it.
Is Wale Oladipo actually an academic professor or he just got it as a title somewhere? If he were a true professor he should have checked the academic background of the man he described as semi-illiterate.
It is on record that Buhari attended the best military schools in the world. In case Oladipo doesn’t know, he graduated as a military officer (lieutenant) in the Royal Military Academy, Aldeshot, UK. He attended Defence College, India. The then Col Buhari also attended the US Army War College, Carlisle in Pennsylvania from 1979 -1980 and earned his command as a brigadier-general. The highly respected General Collin Powel attended the same school in 1976 to become a brigadier-general. Some of Buhari’s classmates include General Beltson, General Thomas P Carney, General Bill Matz, General David E.K. Cooper, etc.  All of them are alive and can be reached for confirmation.
I know that the nation’s first family cannot address Gen Buhari in such a filthy language. President Goodluck Jonathan is highly intelligent and respectful and would not engage in such an uncanny behaviour. If Oladipo has any iota of respect, let him apologise to Gen Buhari.
