The plaintiffs alleged in the suit marked , FHC/ABJ / CS/ 553/2020 , that the University of Ibadan certificate which he attached to his Form CF . 001 which he submitted to INEC for his first term election in 2016 was forged.
They argued that the governor ’s educational information contained in Part C of the Form CF 001 which he submitted to INEC on July 12, 2016 and the first degree certificate of Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies, said to have been obtained from the University of Ibadan , Ibadan , was forged.
They contended that this was “ contrary to the provisions of section 182( 1) ( i ) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999” .

No date has been fixed for the suit .

Obaseki fails to choose his fight, he was covered up during the first election. They knew your secret, they will surely use it against you.

Why is the media focusing on only Edo and nothing is being said about Ondo? Akeredolu too deserves some shaking, before he's chased out of Alagbaka
