Nigerian music executive Jude Okoye has called for urgent electoral reforms in the country.
He proposed that a university Bachelor’s degree should be the minimum qualification for anyone aspiring to hold political office.
In a post shared via his Instagram story on Thursday, the elder brother to the famous Psquare duo questioned the difficulty of amending the electoral act and emphasised the need to ensure that the educated are not led by the uneducated.
He wrote: “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.”
“We can’t have the uneducated leading the educated. It makes zero sense.
Electoral reform
NAS.”
Jude’s comments add to the ongoing national conversation about leadership quality and the standards for political office holders in Nigeria.
