The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has faulted his
disqualification from the All Progressives Congress’ primary election in
Edo State.

He made this known via his Twitter handle after the APC Screening Committee announced that he is ineligible to contest.

The governor tweeted, “We call on all party members and our teeming
supporters to remain calm and await further directives, in the light of
the announcement of my unjust disqualification to participate in
@OfficialAPCNg primary election in Edo State by the screening
committee.”

The PUNCH reports that the All Progressives Congress had declared
Obaseki, and two others ineligible to contest in the July 22
governorship primary election.

The screening committee announced the disqualification while presenting
its report to the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee in
Abuja on Friday.

Apart from Obaseki, the two other disqualified aspirants are Chris Ogiemwonyi and Mathew Iduoriyekenwen.

Chairman of the panel, Prof. Jonathan Ayuba, while presenting the report
explained that Obaseki was disqualified because the committee could not
vouch for the authenticity of the Higher School Certificate he claimed
but could not produce.

The seven-man screening committee led by  Ayuba said the report is
conclusive, adding that all members of the panel signed the report.

Ayuba said the committee was thorough in the process of conducting the
exercise, adding that the process was recorded and the unedited
recording would be made available to the party.
