[BREAKING NEWS] Edo 2020: Governor Godwin Obaseki Disqualified by APC Screening Committee.



[BREAKING NEWS] Edo 2020: The incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki Disqualified by APC Screening Committee.


The All Progressive Congress (APC) screening committee has disqualified the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, and two others from participating in the Edo Governorship election.


Obaseki according to the screening committee was unfit to qualify on the grounds that his HSC and NYSC certificates are defective.



Meanwhile, Governor Obaseki in his reaction to this development has said that he won’t Appeal his Disqualification From Edo APC Primary.

The Governor stated that he will not appeal his disqualification from participating in the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for June 22.

The governor in a statement by his media aide, Crusoe Osagie, said it is needless filing an appeal when the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole has carefully orchestrated the move from the beginning.

While calling on his supporters to be calm, he urged them to wait for further directives.

“We have watched the mockery of democratic process, which Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, is administering and superintending over in our great party the All Progressives Congress (APC). It has been an unfortunate, disheartening and dreadful spectacle.

Adams Oshiomhole

“We had initially asserted that going by the open display and enthronement of illegality by one man in the party that comprises several organs and eminent personalities, there is no way that Governor Godwin Obaseki would get a fair assessment in the run-up to the nomination of candidates to fly the flag of the party in the forthcoming Edo gubernatorial election.

“It is unfortunate that this open show of shame, illegality and travesty of justice is the brand of democracy which Comrade Oshiomhole has reduced the APC into. The situation is quite saddening because this is a party supposedly reputed for change, equity and social justice”

We have therefore decided that it would be effort in futility to appeal whatever the unjust outcome of the evaluation and screening process of the APC will be, especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our great party.

We wish Oshiomhole luck in his maladministration of the party and trust that the Almighty will help our country to find the path to true liberty, freedom and justice.

We call on all party members and the teeming supporters of Governor Obaseki to remain calm and await further directives.

ILORIN LOOTING, A LEGACY OF BUKOLA SARAKI THE PROFESSIONAL LOOTER.

ILORIN LOOTING, A LEGACY OF BUKOLA SARAKI THE PROFESSIONAL LOOTER.   By Femi Arekujaye It's regrettable that the meaningful and peaceful protest of the youths was hijacked and redirected for destruction and political gains.  This is openly displayed in the commiseration message coming from Dr. Bukola Saraki, the architect of poverty and hunger in kwara state. The loot he carried out in kwara is a million times worse than what we are physically seeing today, he has laid a bad precedent before he was shamelessly chased out in the state by electorate. Its important to note that  Bukola Saraki has been sent to an unreturnable journey of political relegation though his bad legacies still remains. The commiseration message by  Bukola Saraki to his young looters  had really proven how the act of ransacks  brought a mischievous smile to his lips and that is why we will continue to hold him accountable to the people of kwara state: because Bukola Saraki had set a ba...
