APC Disqualifies Governor Obaseki From Contesting Party’s Primary

The All Progressive Congress (APC) screening committee on Friday disqualified the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, from participating in Edo APC governorship Primary.

REPORT AFRIQUE understands that two other aspirants were also disqualified from contesting in the primary billed for June 22.

The screening committee said that the incumbent governor was unfit to contest for the ticket of the party following his HSC and NYSC certificates which they said were defective.

Recall on Wednesday, Obaseki had cast doubt on the ability of the APC screening panel for the governorship primary to do justice in the process.
