The APC screening committee cited discrepancies in certificates as reason for the disqualification of Gov. Obaski.

Now, with Obaseki likely on his way to PDP to get the party's ticket for the election, another hurdle is the question of his credentials. Wouldn't APC drag Obaseki and PDP to court should Obaseki succeed in fighting his way to victory?

To solve that, I suggest that since the minimum requirement for election into the position of a governor as enshrined in the constitution is the SSCE, then Obaseki should just present his SSCE result to INEC. With that, the question of graduating from UI in three years will be eliminated; including how many signatures the Cert should have had. Also the question of the missing of the letter "I" from his NYSC certificate of 1980 will be erased.

Just in case APC thinks they can lay ambush.....

Why should he even get the PDP ticket in the first place?
What sort of politics do we even encourage here?

Someone was disqualified from a ruling party this moment and people are already dangling the ticket of the major opposition in front of him the next minute.

Yes they have no principles and ideologies but please we can start somewhere.

Are you saying if you were PDP national chairman, you will let opportunity of adding a whole state to your party slip?

This is politics.

But politics aside, PDP providing it's platform for Obaseki to defeat Oshiomole, Tinubu and their co-travelers, will render them impotent in Edo for future elections; of course with 2023 in sight.

Think my friend, think.

This is politics, not some moral instruction class.

Sure, this is politics but is there anything wrong in infusing some morals into it?

Joining PDP is one thing but snatching the ticket is another. How would PDP give their ticket to the same person they've villified and opposed in the last three years. Don't they have competent persons in their folds again.

Op have you seen obaseki's ssce?
He has only 3 credit.
Get informed

You are not intelligent at all.hsc is still ssce.

Your blind support for the criminals in APC has destroyed your brain and made you stupid.

What makes him unintelligent in that post? Where did you see HSC there?

Even at that, the constitutional requirements is that one should study to the level of secondary School, not the number of credit you have, check the case of Buhari versus Atiku

Don't mind him.

He ran away. Their blind support for evil has removed brain form their skull.

The law does not say you must pass all subjects in Waec. What is required is the body(Waec certificate ) not the contents.

Are you guys aware that the law has been amended to the effect that school cert is no longer the minimum criteria for seeking elective office position

romenna:

3 credits.

2 passes.

Your president has how many F9 again?

Ademola Adeleke has how many F9 again?

In the both the cases of Buhari v. Atiku and Adeleke v. APC, the courts has concluded that the constitution is silent on grade(s). What the constitution says is that you must possess such certificate. Whether you got parallel F9 is of no legal implication.

Have you seen you are the one who needs to get informed?

Hope you have written your Jamb cuz I've noticed we have so many kids on Nairaland.

Buhari has not assented to it.

The bill hasn't even gone to the Senate.

Only the House of Rep has passed it for second reading.

Get appraised my dear

One or two lessons need to be taught to some people, so they don't repeat same mistakes they made in the past.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but sometimes it makes a point.

Not that I support any of PDP or APC. But he can get the PDP ticket because of the type of useless wicked insensitive politics we practice here. Ask yourself how come Obaseki who was qualified to win as gov on APC platform suddenly became ineligible?

Ask yourself again how did ize iyamu become a front runner to clinching the APC ticket after all the things Oshiomhole said about him in the 2016 election while campaigning for this same disqualified Obaseki.

Try to analyse without sentiments.

I do not see Ize-Iyamu clinching the APC ticket, he might have been tricked to APC to decimate the ranks of the PDP. The odds favors the former deputy governor - my opinion though.

If for anything, the PDP, being the leading opposition party should be dragging Obaseki to court for forgery after his term, following dusts raised by the APC in disqualifying him.

Awol1:

Yes, with a very bright prospect.

If they don't have any but have to wait for a disqualified candidate from another major party to fly their flag, then they are highly unserious and not any better than these small parties with no known address.

Obaseki has no base in Edo state. Oshiomole controls most of the Apc in Edo state.

Ize Iyamu will be bringing some Pdp loyalists to Apc

Oh Kabaka, he and his boys have vowed to Maami water to see the end of Obaseki.

It's game over

Obaseki has a better chance

For him to record victory, he will do well to abide by your advise OP and use his position as the governor to his advantage

All he has to his advantage now is POWER!!!

If Obeseki decamps to PDP, the house of assembly members that are APC, what will be their fate? Will they be waiting for him or quickly impeach him?

Didn't the ones in IMO State decamp when Hope Uzodinma came on board

If they believed that Obaseki is truly working and have the heart of the people, I don't see anything wrong in it!!!

You seem not to have understood the type of country we are in. In my earlier response I described it as selfish, wicked, insensitive and its only unruly, disgruntled, parochial and people with no iota of vision that practice that. Unfortunately for us we have them both in the ruling party and major opposition depending on who is in power. Any supposedly level headed person cannot smell any sit of power now through the ballot as it stands.

Why will Ize iyamu even have the will to join APC or why will Oshiomhole and APC even agree to allow him join after all the things oshiomole said about him. Its the same way PDP is willing to allow Obaseki join them.

Nothing will change unless there is a revolt from the people butthey have succeeded in also dividing us to continue to pertuate themselves in power.

So that thought of PDP dragging Obaseki to court will not even play in their minds, they want obaseki with them so that he can at least use Edo state funds to further their own quest for the Governorship.

APC that disqualified him, why have they not taken him to court?

As per Ize iyamu winning the APC ticket we will have to wait and see.
