In a ruling that saw Mr Abdi survive on Friday after losing petition to his challenger Ahmed Abdullahi in lower courts, the Supreme Court also said the governor ' 'behaves like a graduate'.

"We find the Wajir Governor's degree suspect . It cannot be verified. However we find his election valid and in accordance with the constitution because though one is supposed to have a degree to be a governor the governor has always behaved and conducted himself like a graduate."

"This court in its immense wisdom finds and holds that a man doesn't have to produce actual degree papers provided he behaves and performs like one who has it."

But the ruling has angered Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi, who has accused the Supreme Court of bribery, adding that one of the judges had taken a bribe from the governor in Banda schools.

Mr Abdullahi, who is still angered with the ruling, has vowed to move to the Supreme Court on Wednesday to challenge it's ruling on the education background of the governor.

"Governor Mohamed Abdi of WAJIR is in office ILLEGALLY. We are going back to the Court on WEDNESDAY to remove him. The SUPREME COURT just declared that his university degree "was a pre election dispute" and the High Court had no jurisdiction on that issue. But the High Court Nullified his election on EIGHT other grounds of election irregularities. These irregularities were declared "moot" by the Court of Appeal. 

"The Supreme Court ruled that it has NO jurisdiction to address the 8 grounds of irregularities as the governor didn't file an appeal against The 8 grounds. So the judgment of the High Court that found on 8 GROUNDS that the election for WAJIR governor was unlawful and irregular remains UNDISPUTED and undisturbed...you haven't heard the last from us," he wrote on Twitter.

In the elections Act, anyone running for President seat or gubernatorial elections, must have a degree from a recognised public university.

Governor Abdi has been battling on his degree and the ruling which happened to save him could open yet again another prolonged legal tussle in court.
