The All Progressives Congress (APC) Appeal Committee led by Dr
Abubakar Fari on Saturday night upheld the disqualification of the
Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki for the party primary fixed for
June 22.
The screening committee led by Professor Jonathan Ayuba had on
Friday disqualified Governor Obaseki and two others from the
race.
The screening committee claimed that Governor Obaseki’s name was
not properly written in his National Youth Service Corps discharged
certificate and his Higher School Certificate results which it
further claimed was defective.
The Dr Fari appeal committee, in its report, went further to
fault the University of Ibadan certificate presented by Governor
Obaseki as it argued that: “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
NYSC certificate, there is no indication as to where he
served.”
It could not be confirmed if the embattled Edo State governor
made himself available to the Dr Fari appeal team as he had
declared on Friday through his media aide, Crusoe Osagie that he
would not appeal before it.
