Obasanjo stated this during the launch of his controversial autobiography, “My Watch” in London.
The former President stated that during his (and Buhari’s) time, no candidate could get into the army without a Cambridge certificate.
He however added that if Buhari had somehow managed to by-pass the requirement in those days, he had since gotten enough training to qualify him for any position.

Obasanjo also urged Nigerian politicians to stop debating on trivialities and focus on real issues.
