When Adams Oshiomole presented Obaseki to the people of Edo state as the APC governorship candidate for election of 2016, he said he had no doubt that he was leaving the state in the safe hands of who he called "a technocrat" and a worthy successor to take over leadership from him. Obaseki won the election and not too long after things fell apart between the two of them. They have remained as enemies until today with the disqualification of Obaseki from participating in the 2020 election that would have seen him serve Edo people again.

The reason given by the APC screening committee is "certificate discrepancies". Within this period Nigerians have been informed by the Oshiomole group in Edo state that the details contained in the educational certificates of Obaseki are incorrect. Some questions instantly come to mind:

1. Were those certificates not the same presented by Obaseki for the 2016 election?

2. Did the APC screening committee for the 2016 election not do a proper homework before presenting Obaseki as the party candidate?

3. What happened to the confirmation sent by Uniben to APC informing the party that Obaseki graduated from that university?

4. Why did APC fight PDP tooth and nail when this same certificate matter came up after the 2016 election?

5. Did APC plan a boobytrap for Obaseki as a way to protect the national chairman?

6. Considering that Oshiomole had practically labelled Ize Iyamu a thief, has APC in Edo changed their opinion of the man? Will he not be the next candidate?

7. Will the removal of Obaseki not pave the way for PDP to retake Edo state?

8. Will APC under Oshiomole ever be able to put their pre and post election acts together after their unforced errors in Rivers, Delta and Zamfara states?

9. Will Obaseki just sit and watch without working hard to defeat APC in the election this year?

10. Will this screening out not negatively impact the fortunes of APC this year?

then Obaseki by default is a non legible candidate by law he should be impeached by a law court and the pdp candidate be installed, and by fact now the deputy pdp candidate

Op Eat Corn and Drink Water

This has been my thinking.The APC have simply shot itself in the foot with this self implicating decision because most of the observations raise will form the basis of legal fireworks the other contending parties will use against them.

I fear the same and just hope this will not create a constitutional crisis because others will not just fold hands & watch.
