These are the qualifications needed inorder to contest for the Senate or House of Reps

With a controversial Third Class Degree in Geography by Senator Dino Melaye, the outspoken All Progressives Congress chieftain is indeed legally qualified to occupy the position of the Kogi West Senatorial District representative.

The position according section 65 sub-section 2 of the 1999 Nigerian constitution states that;
(a) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or equivalent and
(b) he is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that party.
On this note, Mr. Melaye is more qualified to occupy the position without any of his higher institution degrees.
