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.
This Day newspaper 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.

They also wondered how Obaseki secured admission into the University of Ibadan with just three credit pass in his ordinary level certificate at a time when the educational system was purely on merit.
The group urged the APC to disqualify Obaseki for alleged falsehood to avoid a repeat of the situation that occurred in Bayelsa state where the election of the APC candidate David Lyon, was voided by the Supreme Court over the faulty certificate of his running mate.
Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki, has been sued over an alleged certificate forgery, as the APC crisis in Edo state continues to linger.
Edobor Williams, Ugbesia Abudu Godwin and Amedu Dauda Anakhu filed the lawsuit before the federal high court in Abuja, accusing governor Obaseki of forging his bachelor of arts (B.A.) certificate in classical studies from the University of Ibadan.
