FRI, JUN 12 2020-theG&BJournal- ‘’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 the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Edo State by the screening committee,’’ Governor Godwin Obaseki twitted today following his dramatic disqualification from the Primary Election scheduled for Monday 22nd June 2020.
The Governor subsequently released a statement signed by his media aide, Crusoe Osagie saying he will not appeal the decision to disqualify him haven watched the mockery of democratic process, which Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, is administering and superintending over ‘’in our great party the All Progressives Congress (APC).’’
‘’It has been an unfortunate, disheartening and dreadful spectacle.”
Obaseki feared that would not get a fair assessment in the run-up to the nomination of candidates to fly the flag of the party in the scheduled Edo gubernatorial election and pointed squarely at the party’s national Chairman Adams Oshiomhole as the culprit to his demise ‘’especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our great party.’’
‘’The situation is quite saddening because this is a party supposedly reputed for change, equity and social justice,” he said.
Governor Godwin Obaseki was disqualified alongside two other aspirants by the screening Committee members led by Prof Jonathan Ayuba.
Ayuba, while addressing a news conference in Abuja said Obaseki failed to produce his High School Certificate. He also said the Committee could not verify the governor’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate.
