Former Kaduna lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has advised politicians to refrain from entering public office with fake degrees and certificates, noting that a secondary school result is sufficient for public office.
The former lawmaker cautioned political office seekers against making false claims about their academic qualifications.
Sani warned that there is no way a politician can claim unearned qualifications without their political opponents not digging out the falsehood.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, Sani said: “All you need to contest elections or for a political appointment is a secondary school certificate. There is no way in the realm of politics that one can claim any unearned qualifications without his or her political opponents digging into the matter. Some troubles are unnecessarily self-inflicted”.
