Nigerian music executive Jude Okoye has joined the growing call for comprehensive reforms in the country’s electoral laws, insisting that a university Bachelor’s degree should be the minimum qualification for anyone seeking public office.
Taking to his Instagram story, Okoye questioned the reluctance of lawmakers to amend the Electoral Act and emphasized the need for educated leadership in a country as complex as Nigeria.
“How hard is it to reform our electoral act, making at least a Uni Bachelor’s degree a benchmark for qualification to run for any office in Nigeria,” he wrote.
