Either way the case will surely get to the supreme court.....even if the court has sacked Obasiki he will still head to appeal court up to the supreme court....Obaseki don't rejoice its not over yet

Which of th original is he having there with him, is it the original copy of the one he presented to INEC in 2016 having 1976 as the graduation date or the one he presented to INEC this year 2020 having just one signature and graduation date 1979........keep fooling yourself and your gullible supporters, whether you like it or not the court will surely deliver unbiased judgement at the end of th day according to evidence on ground

From Godwin Tsa, Abuja

The All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday, opened its case on certificate forgery against Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, by calling a professor of law, Omoregie Edobo, as its first witness.



In his evidence in chief, Edobo of the University of Benin tendered various documents to prove that the Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by Obaseki was forged.

The party in the suit filed in July 2020 is claiming that Obaseki forged his degree certificate, which he presented to the INEC to secure his candidacy in the September governorship election.

In the pre-election suit filed through a chieftain of the party, Mr. Williams Edobor, it is specifically seeking the disqualification of Obaseki who became governor in 2016 under its platform.



Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Abuja division of the Federal High Court had in September said rulings in all applications as well as objections would be delivered alongside judgment ordered the APC to call its witnesses to prove allegations made against Obaseki.

When the trial commenced yesterday, the plaintiffs through their lead counsel, Chief Akin Olujimi, called their first witness, Edobo, and presented various documents to prove the case of the plaintiff.


Although, the defendants had used the same documents to cross examine the witness, the documents were however not admitted following defendants claim that Edobo was not the maker and as such cannot tender them.

But the position of the plaintiffs is that the said documents sought to be tendered were same documents of Obaseki in his defense.


However, during cross examination by Obaseki’s lawyer, Mr Ken Mozia, the witness who identified the University of Ibadan Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies certificate issued on July 6, 1979 to Godwin Obaseki, observed that while the signature of the vice chancellor was clear that of the registrar was “not legible.”

On qualification for direct entry into the university, the witness told the court that candidates with Advanced Level or Higher School Certificate (HSC) were admitted for a three years degree programme and went ahead to confirm Obaseki’s HSC certificate issued to him by West African School Certificate (WASC) in June 1976.



However, when asked by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP’s) lawyer, Rasaq Isilalomhe, if he had ever cited the original copy of the UI certificate issued to Obaseki, the witness said: “I am not aware that an original copy of the degree certificate was issued to the 1st defendant by UI.”

Edobo also told the court that he has never seen the original of the HSC certificate WASC issued to Obaseki in 1976.

He also told the court that his allegation of forgery against Obaseki was based on photocopies of certificates Obaseki presented to INEC. He explained that there are two BA degrees Obaseki presented to INEC, adding that in the one of 2020 the signature of the Registrar was not legible.

hmm they have finally woken up from their deep sleep, because this was long overdue

Mumu u wan dislodge Tinubu, which better alternatives do you have to replace him, we stupidly dislodged Jonathan and Nigeria is full of regret today and only God knows when we are going to come out of this again...so you better go and die with your hatred for Tinubu

What's Bode George business on APC matter, bad belle you no go mind your miserable business abi you wan go jail again abi. Stupid you that could not face wicked wike in your miserable PDP that he skimmed you off and single handedly assemble your PDP NWC

Oga if u have personal issues with ur Tinubu, u guys should go sort urself out or better still kill urselves and stop disturbing us, this platform not for old fools

If Buhari dies today is Tinubu. Rubbish and stupid fools, the wicked runneth when no man pursueth, if you didn't not offend or betrayed him, why are you pple always suspicious of him when ever you pple encounters misfortune

Hmm what has democracy awards got to do with some one like Wike. Rubbish and stupid awards

Wicked Wike should keep quiet, we won't allow any rogue politician to hijack this our peaceful protest for their own selfish gain, no way

That's the king of cultist and thugs talking with his mouth full of lies

AAA593:
Primate ayodele predicted hope Uzodinma leaving office. I hope that prophecy will not come to pass. Enough of court cases please.

Fake prophecy coming from a fake prophet, you know a fake prophet when they claim God told them and what they prophecy doesn't come to pass, this fake man has so many unfilled prophecies......He's a fake man

This is the most foolish case I've ever seen, Nwosu was disqualified bcuz he bought form and participated on two political parties primary for same election ĺnot that he was the substantive APC candidate for that election, typical example is Godwin Obaseki who bought form and participated on two political parties primary for same election, and for his own supreme court is already waiting for him and in this Imo case the lawyer and one behind this case will be made to pay penalty for bringing stupid case like this to supreme court.

Bode George the ex-convict is talking too

This was how they rigged Edo election, full secret is now coming out, and when they did this Edo they assigned thugs to follow the fake result from pulling unit to the ward and to the coalition center in the name of we dey protect out vote.....Mike Igini must be made to account to what they did in Akwa Ibom, Edo and other places PDP have claimed to win election

Below was the message I got from one PDP agent Mr. Umoh.........my advice to Aketi of Ondo is to watch out

[03/08, 1:45 am] Mr. Umoh: Send me your name as in
your voters card or national id. Your husband relatives and friends that you want to assist financially with money to do business, let me included them in one government assisted program
[03/08, 11:13 am] Austino50: This must be for Edo state election rigging....Let those behind this forget it, it won't work, Edo is not Rivers nor Akwa Ibom

This was exactly what they did to Akpabio and APC candidate in Akwa Ibom state with the help of INEC Reg Mike Igini and the same Mike Igin was seen in Edo before the election and same thing happened.

Anyway Buhari is the problem of this nation and APC as a party, that a President can not provide security and leadership to his party and the nation, its a shame and I know he will regret his actions when he leaves office when PDP will be dealing with him and most of his loyalist like Chibuike Ameachi and the rest

GboyegaD:
He's accepted the result, he should move on.

He's not moving on pre-election matter in court will settle it, if Obaseki is qualify to contest the election or not and other issues already in court, Bayelsa not far from Edo

When a popular candidate losses election in a strange way look very closely something has happened underground and when a member of a political party in this case PDP in Edo state Mr. kenneth Imasuagbon boast openly that opposition party member APC in Edo state against his will, will vote for Obaseki, it tells you that there's something giving him such confidence and what was that, that un-registered voters will vote with pre-purchased voters card and a lot of their fake voters will vote multiple times and on the guise of protecting your vote gun wading thugs will escort such fake vote to INEC office with the help of security agent already bribed by Wike, Obaseki, Okowa and other PDP governors

Ize-Iyamu said that contrary to media reports, the election was neither free nor fair, pointing out that there were several episodes of violence, voter intimidation and falsification of results.

He pointed out that there were unlawful cancellations of results particularly from Urhonigbe South and North in Orhiomwon, while results were falsified from many polling units in Ofunama in Ovia South West, and in parts of Ovia North East, Owan West, Oredo, Egor, Ikpoba-Okha, Esan North East, Esan West, Esan South East, and Uhunmwode Local Government Areas.

“Sadly, two persons were killed during the election, while gun-wielding thugs took over collation centres in many locations without the intervention of law-enforcement agents.

“There were also several cases of malfunctioning card readers, which disenfranchised duly registered voters, in addition to many cases of unregistered voters voting with pre-purchased voters’ cards not collected by their actual owners,” Ize Iyamu said in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Monday.

He said even though there are reasons to challenge the election results, “We have however decided not to commence an election petition.”

According to him, this is to avoid further tension in Edo State, noting also that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and many well-placed individuals have made pronouncements endorsing the process that produced Obaseki.

The APC standard-bearer, however, noted that there are pre-election matters already in court filed against the APC by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and its candidate, Obaseki and also the ones instituted by the APC against the ruling party and its candidate.

He noted that these are all lawful and integral parts of the electoral process in any democracy, calling on everyone to respect and acknowledge as genuine democrats.

“The outcome of these pending cases have direct effect on the election. Consequently, we have decided to continue with our pre-election cases in full exercise of our legal rights, just as our opponents have considered it their prerogative to also continue with their pre-election cases against us,” he said.

Who laugh last will surely laugh the best, in this case Ize-Iyamu, Oshiomhole,Tinubu and others in APC in Edo state will laugh the best in fullness of time.

Quote me when the time comes

SmartProf:
Rubbish...be it 4 SANS or 4 SANDS, it's an excercise in futility by these defeated political apprentices. At best you guys will just be entertaining the judges so they don't just stay at home bored. Obaseki pls do well to set up a rehab center for these defeated politicians cause depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder will be so rampant after you win at the poll. Also recommend some of them to benefit from the n-power scheme, cos they may not have any other source of livelihood.

You think, well you better wakeup from your oversleeping, Bayelsa, Zamfara happened not long ago

Victim of Obaseki's bad governance, he closed down their school and refused to pay them salary for over 13 months....Edo can never be Lagos where one stupid governor will close down school of education and refused to pay salary for over 13 months, wickedness of the wicked

The mumu may go from there, and our man here may follow too

Why video and bringing it on social media....senseless people

Oga battle is not over who say battle is over, the judicial battle is already on, the both has questions to anwser about their qualification to contest the election, so relax and watch the part 2 of the battle. Don't forget Bayelsa, Zanfara and others okay! Don't be in a hurry

Buhari and others working against Tinubu and Oshiomhole used them to succeed Buhari APC second term and betraying them now but first to do dey pain but second to do dey kill, Tinubu and Shiomhole are waiting for APC to come asking for their help again come 2023 and am very sure they will get the other side of them, better to say APC as a political party is dead under Buhari, he has killed it with his inability to govern Nigeria well, bad governance, bad economy, insecurity, lack of party team work, nepotism etc

Oyegun keep quiet, you that destroyed APC before Oshiomhole came in and restore life into the party that made mumu Buhari to win second term election against Atiku. Would you have be able to do it?
