Edo 2020: Obaseki pledges not to appeal disqualification

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State

Incumbent Governor od Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has vowed not to appeal his disqualification from the All Progressive's Congress' primary election ahead of the state's governorship election.

MyNigeria.com reported moments ago that the governor and two others were disqualified from taking part in the primaries by the APC.

According to Daily Trust, the governor described the disqualification as unjust but vowed not to appeal it.

Recall that Obaseki after screening on Wednesday by the APC committee raised fears that he may not get justice.

Since Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is an interested party in this matter, I don’t think I will get justice in this screening but we will wait for the outcome of everything.

“Even with the controversial issue from the University of Ibadan, I have my result here with me”

“The last time I came here, I asked that Oshiomhole should recuse himself from the process in the interest of peace and justice.

“But as a party man, I have had to go through the screening like everybody else.

“Since he is the judge and the jury in this matter, I will just wait for the outcome of the screening

“I have given them all the information they need; the controversial certificate from the University of Ibadan has been tendered,” he said.
