The University of Ibadan has faulted a claim made by the All Progressives Congress that the institution awarded two certificates with separate dates to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

The APC had stated discrepancies in the dates on Obaseki’s UI certificate as one of the reasons for his disqualification from the June 22 governorship primary in Edo State.

Presenting its report to the National Working Committee headed by National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, on Saturday, the APC Screening Appeal Committee led by Abubakar Fari, said, “It is inconceivable that the same University will award two certificates with separate dates for the same graduate.

“We also find it difficult to vouch for the authenticity of his National Youth Service Corps certificate, there is no indication as to where he served. We find that he should be disqualified.”

Oshiomhole commended the chairman and members of the appeal committee for doing a “meticulous” job.

“It appears you were extremely meticulous to details and you justified ours – not in terms of your findings but in terms of what you were able to amplify. That you have an eye for very important details.

“We are happy you were able to finish this work timeously. This is the final appeal level, what is left now is the NWC will meet and take a decision one way or the other,” he said.

However, when contacted on Sunday, UI Registrar, Olubunmi Faluyi, restated that Obaseki remains an alumnus of the institution.

Faluyi said the institution’s stand remained as contained in an earlier statement that “Obaseki gained admission to the University in 1976 and graduated in 1979 with a Second Class Honours, Lower Division. Records of his Admission and Graduation are intact in the archives of the University.”

Also, the varsity’s Director of Public Communications, Olatunji Oladejo, told The PUNCH in a telephone interview on Sunday that the claim by the APC was not true.

“We stand by our statement on Obaseki. How can you issue two certificates to a candidate? That is not true. It is not possible. He graduated in 1979 from the university. We issued only one certificate to him, not two,” Oladejo said.

Y'all saying Obaseki should decamp to PDP and contest have forgotten what happened in Bayelsa.

If he contests under PDP and eventually win, APC will go to court and they will win, we all saw what happened in Bayelsa.



*Obaseki's names on his certificates are not properly written

*His certificate indicates that he spent three years for four years course

*He got admission into UI with just three credits


If he wins under PDP power will still come back to APC.


In this life, loyalty is very important.
Loyalty is one of the rules that must be strictly adhere to in politics.

If y'all care to know I will love to tell u that Obaseki is out of politics, if he wants to stay relevant he should remain in APC, work with the party and make amends where he stepped on toes and his disqualification will turn around for good.



All you online supporters should not push him to political oblivion.
I am very sure he is weighing his options right now

It's universities like this that rekindles hope in Nigerians

Hope that education is light and it's worth having

Hope that years spent in universities are not wasted years

Now that the university has cleared the air, can APC now apologize to Obaseki and rescind their decision

I have said it that Oshiomole's ego will be the end of APC

No need to talk, the Ugly ex Governor of Edo State has been disqualified. This is the end of the Road for his political career. Since he likes Corn very well, he should start the business of Roated and cooked corn.

Bighead , Did you read at all Abi your head just big

He was disqualified base on his certificate

I guess it people like you that made up the committee that disqualified him

Guy, even if Obaseki win his reelection (which is never posible) the tribunal will crush him, cause he is not qualified to contest the election in the first place. He is disqualified based on forgery, discrepancy in his result names, discrepancies in the year he graduate, none availability of National youth service certificate e.t.c

Any which way, the Ugly ex Governor of Edo State (Obaseki ) is a gonner.
