Court Asked To Disqualify Obaseki From Edo Election by valentineuwakwe(op): 11:40pm On Jun 05, 2020
The Federal High Court in Abuja has been asked to disqualify Governor Godwin Obaseki from contesting the forthcoming governorship election in the state for allegedly forging his university certificate .
The election is scheduled to hold in Edo State on September 19 .
The suit was filed on May 29 , 2020 by Edobor Williams, Ugesia Godwin and Amedu Anakhu .
Joined as respondents to the suit were the governors ’ party, the All Progressives Congress , the Inspector- General of Police and Obaseki himself.
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” .
According to them, Obaseki was therefore “ not qualified to run or seek the office of Governor of Edo State under the platform of the 1st defendant (APC ) in the governorship election scheduled to hold in the state on September 19 , 2020” .
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

Akeredolu has problems with only people within Ondo.
Obaseki on the other hand has insulted everyone who can help his destiny both within and outside Edo.
Re: Court Asked To Disqualify Obaseki From Edo Election by Nobody: 5:11am On Jun 06, 2020
Obaseki contested under APC with forged certificate.Oshiomole was blind in all the certificate forgery allegation level against him.Now that obaseki refuses to implement pension law for ex governors, oshiomole now want him disqualified.
Oshiomole should be jail for aiding and abetting fraud.

Edo PDP that has several court cases hanging on its head. There are 2 injunctions against holding state congresses and in spite of that, they went ahead to hold the congresses to elect new state leaders.

Whatever actions those PDP leaders in Edo state take, the court would declare it null and void. If they give Obaseki form and he contests under it, his candidacy is null and void.

Not only free nomination, they would give him Presidential form. Go and ask those in Edo what PDP in Edo state is going through in the hands of lawyers.
Keep deceiving yourself.
