Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy to Edo Governor Crusoe Osagie has accused members of the screening committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of failing to screen Godwin Obaseki in Abuja.
Osagie said: “The governor (of Edo State) had arrived at the national secretariat of the party (APC) early for screening, but the committee members were not ready.
“He (Obaseki) was given the options to either wait for one hour or if he had an appointment to keep, he could go and call them to know if they were ready.

“The governor, who had a Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) meeting to attend, went for the meeting (of NGF) and called when he was done but the members of the screening committee did not take their calls.”
The possibility of Godwin Obaseki getting the APC ticket for a second term in office has become unsure following the push by some party members for the disqualification of the Edo governor from the race.
Some news outlets reported that some concerned party members sent a petition to the APC screening committee for Edo state gubernatorial election demanding the disqualification of Obaseki over alleged unexplained inconsistencies in his certificates.

The concerned party members faulted Obaseki’s educational history and questioned how a four-year academic progamme was completed in three years for a degree in classical studies.
