Screening Appeal Committee of the All Progressives Congress has upheld the disqualification of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The appeal committee presented its report to the National Working Committee headed by Adams Oshiomhole on Saturday.
The committee led by Dr Abubakar Fari cited discrepancies in the dates on Obaseki’s University of Ibadan certificate.
Presenting the 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.”
Oshiomhole commended the chairman and members of the appeal committee for doing a “meticulous” job.
“It appears you were extremely meticulous in your findings, you have attention to details, and not just because of the findings,” the APC National Chairman added.
It is not clear how Obaseki’s appeal got to the party’s appeal committee because the embattled governor said yesterday he would not appeal the screening committee result.
