The All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee has disqualified the governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki from participating in the Edo 2020 Governorship election.

Others disqualified from the race include, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi, a former minister and NNPC Director; and Mr. Mathew Iduoriyekemwen, a former lawmaker under the PDP and Obaseki’s core-loyalist.

According to the APC screening committee, the governor was unfit to qualify on the grounds that his Higher School Certificate (HSC) was “defective.”

The committee chairman, Prof. Jonathan Ayuba said they could also not ascertain the authenticity of Obaseki’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate.

According to the chairman, the name on the governor’s NYSC discharge certificate bears ‘Obasek’ instead of ‘Obaseki’. He also said the governor was uncleared over his anti-party activities.

Those cleared to participate in the election include Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, a former Secretary to Edo Government, Dr Pius Odubu, former Deputy Governor and Hon. Osaro Obaze, former council chairman.

The APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, however said aspirants disqualified have an option to appeal their disqualification at the party's Appeal Committee.

The APC has fixed its primaries for June 22, while the main election holds September 19. With this latest development, only Ize-Iyamu, Odubu and Obaze will now battle to clinch the party's ticket.

In a statement made available to Igbere TV, Governor Obaseki said he will not be appealing his disqualification. Rumours are rife that the governor may soon decamp to an opposition party to contest the election.

The party stands a chance of losing their victory when challenged in the Tribunal.

Based on these same certificate issues raised by APC. Any party flying Obaseki is on his own.

Mtcheeeew.Wetin Kwonsai Me

Hungry PDP cannot win Edo

But he wasn't screened out 4years ago?



That dude above me needs general beating!
He is part of the national problem (s) and a liability to mankind.

supreme Court judgement on buharis certificate issue covers Obaseki...

Obaseki is eminently qualified..You can check up the minimum requirement to contest governorship position in Nigeria according to the 1999 constitution.

PDP will gladly accept him and he will win.

Truth is that he was disqualified cos of politics..

Because Comrade Adams Oshiomole asked you to do it.
Any other reason(s) aside this, is a LIE!

Did you see his NYSC certificate that it’s reads Obasek and his University certificate reads Obaseki.
Same case PDP is struggling with in Bayelsa Governorhip tribunal.

Lagos is now Edo.

It was quiet obvious,he will be disqualified by Osiomonle's led NWC

Oshiomole is hoping an expected court case which is supposed to disqualify obasakei legality based on PDP suit hinging on his certificate will go to pastor ize... Not the PDP hence, ND he hopes the pastor will return to APC

IPOP's political support is like China phone
They don't last long

Board Room Power Game.

Good ridiance to bad obaseki!!!
There is an adage that says when a person cooks for the community,it is always easy to consume it,but when the community decides to cooks for you,it will choke you.
Obaseki was drunk in power such that he forgot 4years isn't going to last forever. He used his power to rebel against the authority that made him,now is the time to be humble and accept his defeat to avoid further humiliation

If PDP has any iota of sense left, they should not touch obaseki with a 200ft pole much less give him the opportunity to contest for governor under its platform...

Obaseki is damaged goods...

eyah... hin own don be be that

This is the end of the Road for Ugly and incompetent Obaseki. He should Biging to pack his bags as we have a new able and capable Governor in Edo state.

It's jubilation all over Benin, over the disqualification of Ugly Obaseki.

Since the qualification for governorship is First School Leaving Certificate, why don't Obaseki present his first school leaving certificated only and move to PDP and continue his battle for survival?

What are you saying?? He might choose not to submit those controversial certificates while obtaining PDP nomination form. All litigation shall be subject to the certificate presented to the INEC via the platform upon which you are contesting.

Is it not the same certificate he used when he contested in 2016?? oshiomole has orchestrated the whole thing. I see PDP wining this election

okay
