The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the Edo state governor Godwin Obaseki and five others aspirants seeking the ticket of the party to submit their original certificates to avoid Bayelsa’s experience.

The six aspirants who have bought, completed and submitted the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms are Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, governor Godwin Obaseki, Hon. Dr. Pius Odubu, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi, Hon. Osaro Obazee and Hon. Matthew Aigbuhuenze Iduoriyekemwen.

The party has slated June 22, 2020 for primary election to elect the party’s Edo state governorship candidate.

In a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, Friday in Abuja, APC said the various submissions will be displayed at the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja and in Benin City, the Edo State capital from Monday 8th to Tuesday 9th June, 2020 for claims and objections.

“In our bid to ensure due diligence and transparency in the screening exercise and learning from our recent shocking experiences, we are determined to avoid any lapses in the process. Therefore, we are making the submitted information and documents of the governorship aspirants available to our party members and the public for verification of claims and to support the screening panel with information or any objection to the claims contained in the submission by the aspirants.

“We are inviting party members and indeed members of the public to assist the screening committee by scrutinizing the information, credentials and documents provided by the governorship aspirants and availing the Screening Committee of counter and correct information, if applicable.

“Recall that in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guidelines, APC had earlier released its time table and schedule of activities for the conduct of the 2020 Governorship Primary Elections in Edo States.

“Accordingly, sales of nomination and expression of interest forms began at the APC National Secretariat from Wednesday 20th May to Tuesday 2nd June, 2020.

“The last day for submission of completed forms and accompanying documents was Wednesday 3rd June, 2020.

“As earlier stated, publication of claims and objections will be from Monday 8th to Tuesday 9th June, 2020.

Screening of aspirants has been slated for Wednesday 10th to Thursday 11th June, 2020.

“This will be followed by Screening Appeal which will hold on Friday 12th June, 2020.

“The Primary Election will hold on Monday 22nd June, 2020, while Election Appeal has been slated for Wednesday 24th June, 2020.”

If Obaseki was so sensible, I expected him to have left out the disputed record in his profile while submitting the party’s interest and nomination form.

The disputed record is his original copy of University of Ibadan certificate. This is a certificate greater than the least constitutional requirement of gubernatorial office holder, Senior Secondary Certificate Exam (SSCE)

It was already known that this original certificate would be used against him which he should have expelled from his profile since he has other qualifying options.

If he is bent on using the disputed certificate, he will be screened out of the primary and there is nothing he can do to remediate that since the judicial system is slow and may end up delivering the judgement after the APC primary election.

This was the same thing Aregbesola did when he wanted to contest for his second term in office, since his HND certificate has “coma”

obaseki lekan si 4+4

Let my man Nas said;

"It's the closest ones to you that kill you"

Obaseki was appointed by Oshiomole as commissioner.

He knows the man has no certificate.

Oba is a goal.

What happened to affidavit

The trend in politics now is "show your certificate"

Obaseki : 1

I'm so enjoying this game

I see PDP smilling in all of this
If you know you know

Lol...

No be small thing ooo
Just don't plunge the state and country into anarchy with the greedy and obstinacy you are displaying, Mr Chairman and Oga Governor...

Lol

If Obaseki is as wise as Rauf Aregbesola, he should have summited is SSCE result, since it will meet the requirement to become a Governor.

He has not been playing his card well. I hope he is smart and didn't include his certificate wey get bowleg

Good one , let's avoid Bayelsa Experience

omo e don red,

The last straw / punch that blow the carmel's back is on it's suicide mission. I hope Obaseki survive this.

Can Obaseki win this game? I can see Oshiomole taking the lead

oshiomole in early lead!

All is fair in love and war ba? In terms of certificates, Obaseki has nothing to hide or fear. The records are there, clear for all to see. Same issue has been cleared even as far back as 2016. Ridiculous goal of this being to further fuel stupid propaganda.

Obaseki is an achiever & currently the most futuristic Governor in Nigeria. It’s a pity people, especially the youths are taking this as super story entertainment & clapping Willy nilly for the ones who want to try and get rid of him by all means, share and sell their collective patrimony. Wake up people!!

An old picture is enough, ask the old people in Supreme Court! Oshiomhole and Bubs should provide theirs. Nonsense...

oga be on the look out for another means of survival! since you never complained when the same people you're chastising brought him on board, supporting his treacherous and divisive tendencies while also castigating them speaks volume of your kind of person. you can't be taken serious man

I'm really in pains that obasike didnt act wisely by not including the disputed certificate in his forms.

This is a well calculated plot by osho to kick obasike out. I'm so bitter obasike dont have good advisers.

It's now obvious that Igbos with their hailing have led obasike to his downfall.

No sane Obasike supporter will fight for him should he be disqualified cos of his certificate

Oh what a fools paradise.

Igbos why
Igbos why

It will be a disappointment if Obaseki submitted his University Certificate. He fall into the pit they dig for him.
Before the NWC would come out with a policy like this that means Obaseki has submitted the affidavit in his credentials and Oshiomhole will now nail him with that. Pity that those advising this man are not well schooled in politics.

So says a party that presented a contender for the highest office with just an affidavit.

Well, it's politics and all is fair and just to them. Obaseki knew the game before it started.

This shows that you don’t know much about the man you’re supporting. He can only produce affidavit in place of his University Certificate, this is not a news it’s in public since 2016.

You wishhh

Governor Obaseki, don't go and start issuing ridiculous statements to defend yourself. Go to the University of Ibadan and seek them to replace your certificate. I don't know your university regulations but it should be possible to issue you a replacement if for instance your certificate got burnt or stolen. Except you didn't graduate from the University, which would be a case of perjury and a big crime necessitating you to resign as governor. Alternatively, remove UI and include your certificates from Pace University and Columbia University.

But it doesn't mean you can still win the APC primaries. Nigerian politics is very dirty. Play ball or get rubbished.
