Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has been disqualified by the All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee for Edo governorship election aspirants from contesting the party’s primary election.
Professor Jonathan Ayuba, chairman of the screening committee, broke the news while presenting his report to Adams Oshiomhole, APC national chairman, at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja on Friday.
Ayuba said the Edo governor was disqualified for reportedly presenting a Higher School Certificate which was not in existence.
The panel also pointed out that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate presented by the governor did not have his name written properly.
With this development, it means that even if Obaseki will be getting a second term of office, it would not be through the ruling party, through which he won the first term.
Obaseki has been locked in an open and bitter contest with Oshiomhole.
