APC screening committee disqualifies Godwin Obaseki

The Screening Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
disqualified Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, from contesting in the
party’s governorship primary election scheduled for June 22, 2020.

Obaseki and five other aspirants were screened by the committee
earlier this week to validate their credentials and grant them clearance
to vie for the party’s ticket to contest in the September 19
governorship election.

However, when the seven-member committee led by Professor Jonathan
Ayuba presented its report to the party’s National Working Committee on
Friday, June 12, the committee said Obaseki and two other candidates
were not cleared.

Prof. Jonathan Ayuba said the governor did not present his Higher School Leaving Certificate.

Ayuba noted that the committee could not ascertain the authenticity of his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate.

Ayuba said the committee recommended that he is not eligible to contest in the election.

Dr. Pius Odubu and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu were cleared to contest.

Earlier on Wednesday, Obaseki expressed fears that he might not get
justice from the screening committee as the APC National Chairman, Adams
Oshiomhole, was involved in the process.
