Anambra guber candidate with 3 PhD degrees, 3 professorships, tenders only WAEC certificate to INEC


A governorship aspirant in Anambra State who has been campaigning on the strength of his chains of degrees obtained in the United States of America has just presented a WAEC certificate to the Independent National Election Commission for the purposes of the November 6 poll in the state.

An INEC recent publication on the Anambra poll which was sited by our correspondent showed that the American returnee tendered only the School certificate to electroral body,without more.
The American "been to" had claimed he had chains of degrees in Chemistry, Pharmacy and Medicine.
He also said he had three PhDs and three American professorships .
Though, WASC is the minimum constitutional requirement for elective positions in the country, including the position of a governor and president, many wonder why a candidate who has been campaigning on the strength of his chains of degrees, including the three PhD degree should only tender WASC as his qualification.

Below is the INEC publication:[/s]

Still better than nepa bill

May sound suspicious, but the law says you must have at least a WAEC certificate or higher.

Sowore in the last presidential election presented only his WAEC certificate, despite the fact that he is educated up to Masters level...and his degrees are attested to.

Idamond:
it's actually a choice, became the rule says at least a weac,neco or nabteb certificate..

even if I was the one I would do same no need to tender your higher degree the main thing is to deliver

EagleNest:
I don't buy the logic that he chose to present waec certificate. Nigerians! We never learn lessons. If you are really genuine, why should you hide your academic credentials-which could also be a selling point to certain voters? Such a high office as governor requires people with integrity. If at this onset, you can't produce your higher education certificate which you should be proud of, then Buhari 2.0 is about to happen credential-wise.

Thanksful:


Who attested to the degrees?

Beancounter94:


Sowore shot into national prominence as the president of UNILAG students union. He could not have been a president without being a student and a final year one at that.

Plus it was reported when he got his masters degree at his American university

At any rate that is irrelevant to inec. All he needs to qualify to run is his waec certificate. Having additional degrees is not a must

Thanksful:


He didn't graduate from Unilag.

We have gone beyond the era of assumptions. If you can't present your certificate as at when needed, you don't have it period.

Many in this country are occupying positions they aren't qualified for both academically and otherwise.

Please stop promoting nonsense.

No one is forcing anyone to present a certificate beyond his or her qualifications. But don't lie to us you have something you don't have.

How do we know you have something if you can't present it and defend it.

Sowore is the owner of the game so far and that is not by happenstance. He may not qualify as a man of ideology to the extent that he is not popularizing either scientific socialism or its alternative, caught as he is at the intersection of neo-liberalism complexity and a revolutionary conviction that is couched in shades of populism and opportunism. But his mastery of the psychology of protest is unimpeachable. He is definitely not new to activism and its tactics. A graduate of Geography and Regional Planning of the University of Lagos, Nigeria (1989 – 1995), and holder of a Master’s degree in Public Administration, Columbia University, United States, Sowore’s life has been one of consistent involvement in protest. He was, between 1992 and 1994, President of the Student’s Union Government at the University of Lagos
