Opinion: Degree Fakery, Resume Implants and Biographical Discrepancies, By Bámidélé Adémólá-Olátéjú
In our democracy, a political culture built on lies, deception and misrepresentation sends the wrong signal to up and coming youths. Do voters really care whether a politician is a university graduate or not? I don’t think so. The electorate care more about who connects with them, understands their issues and has a measure of integrity. When a politician lies about his qualifications, it calls into question his integrity.
As we have seen in the past, sooner rather than later, lies and false statements will catch up with candidates for public office and those already elected. The Nigerian voter is getting more informed and sensitive, each passing day. Those who aim to lead cannot be protected from their lies for long. The informed voter will ask questions and those who seek to represent us will continue to attract critical public scrutiny to their education and backgrounds.
