Gov Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu
The All Progressive Congress, APC, screening committee has disqualified the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, Mr Matthew Iduoriyekenwem and Eng Chris Ogiewonyi from participating in the the party’s primaries scheduled for June 22.
Obaseki according to the screening committee was unfit to represent the party because of differences in his O/L WAEC, University of Ibadan certificate and his NYSC discharge certificate and anti-party activities.
In his 1980 NYSC certificate, the name Obasek was written without the last latter while the makeover certificate for the deficiency on his O/Level WAEC results which contains only 3 credits was not presented to the committee by Obaseki. The governor claimed he obtained the makeover O/L result when he attended the Continuing Education Center, ICE, in Benin City.
According to the Chairman of the party’s Screening Committee, Prof. Jonathan Ayuba, those cleared to contest the party’s primaries include Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Osaro Obaze and former Deputy Governor, Dr. Pius Odubu.
