Out of the 18 candidates, six registered with the First Leaving School Certificate (FLSC), WAEC and NECO while the remaining registered with HND, B.SC and other advanced degrees, including PhD
It is, however, noteworthy that registering with lower degrees does not make any candidate less qualified as long as the degree is within the requirements of the Constitution.
To be elected as a state governor in Nigeria, the 1999 Constitution, Section 177, stipulates that an aspirant must have "been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent", among other requirements.
