The state Publicity Secretary of PDP, Chris Nehikhare, in an interview withHe said the party’s focus at the moment is to ensure that its June 19 governorship primary was successful.
He said, “To the best of my knowledge, Governor Obaseki is not in discussion with us. Most of these things you hear are in the realm of speculations. What we are interested in right now is how to deliver a free, fair, transparent, and credible primary for our members that have got their governorship forms and have been screened.”
Following his disqualification by the APC, there were reports that the embattled governor may consider running on the platform of another political party to realise his second-term ambition.
In the report received by the National Chairman of the party, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, Ayuba noted that Obaseki claimed to have obtained a Higher School Certificate from the Institute of Continuing Education in Benin but that he did not produce the certificate and that the document he produced only attested to his attendance.
He said further that the governor’s National Youth Service Corps certificate reads ‘Obasek Godwin’ and that while this could be an error on the part of NYSC, the governor never took any step “to correct the anomaly.” Obaseki and two other aspirants, Chris Ogiemwonyi and Mathew Iduoriyekenwen, were disqualified from participating in the party primary ahead of the September 19, 2020 governorship election in the state. Those cleared to take part in the primary were Mr Osaro Obaze, Dr Pius Odubu and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
