The Screening Appeal Committee of the All Progressives
Congress-led by Dr. Abubakar Fari has upheld the disqualification of Governor
Godwin Obaseki.
The appeal committee presented its report to the National
Working Committee on Saturday.
The appeal committee corroborated the report of the
screening committee by also citing discrepancies in the dates on Obaseki’s
University of Ibadan certificate.
Presenting the appeal committee’s report, Fari said, “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 National Youth Service Corps certificate, there is no indication as to
where he served.
“We find that he should be disqualified.”
Reacting to the report, Oshiomhole commended the chairman
and members of the appeal committee for doing a “meticulous” job.
The APC National Chairman said: “It appears you were
extremely meticulous in your findings, you have attention to details, and not
just because of the findings.”
The screening committee of the party, headed by Prof
Jonathan Ayuba, had on Friday said the governor was disqualified from
participating in the party’s June 22 primary because of the discrepancies in
his names and certificates and for taking the party to court in contravention
of the party’s rules.
