*MEN AT WAR: Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki (right), with Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the APC National Chairman is accused of doing everything humanly possible to stop Obaseki
By Editor
Ahead of the Edo State governorship election, which is scheduled to hold in Edo State on September 19, the “politricks” of those who do not want to see the incumbent governor, Godwin Obaseki returning as governor are seeking the Federal High Court in Abuja to disqualify Governor Godwin Obaseki from contesting the forthcoming governorship election in the state. They alleged that he forged his university certificate.
The suit was filed on May 29, 2020 by Edobor Williams, Ugesia Godwin and Amedu Anakhu. Joined as respondents to the suit were the governors’ party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and Obaseki himself. The plaintiffs alleged in the suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/553/2020, that the University of Ibadan certificate, which he attached to his Form CF.001, which he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for his first term election in 2016 was forged.
The group, which pundits alleged may be working for the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who does not want Obaseki back as Edo State governor in September argued that the governor’s educational information contained in Part C of the Form CF 001, which he submitted to INEC on July 12, 2016 and the first degree certificate of Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies, said to have been obtained from the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, was forged.
