APC Panel Disqualifies Edo Governor, Obaseki, From Contesting Primary Election

Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, was today, disqualified from contesting the APC primary poll by All Progressives Congress screening committee for Edo governorship election aspirants.

Jonathan Ayuba, Chairman of the screening committee, said this while presenting his report to Adams Oshiomhole, APC National Chairman, at the national secretariat in Abuja on Friday.

According to the screening committee, Obaseki presented the Higher School Certificate which the panel said was defective as no such certificate in existence, adding that the National Youth Service Corps certificate he presented did not have his name written properly.

Based on these, the committee said the governor is not qualified to contest for the party primary scheduled for June 22.
