Edo Governorship: APC 'refused to screen Obaseki' - Aide

The governor's spokesperson said the committee deliberately exempted Mr Obaseki from the screening process. ................

The spokesperson to Edo State governor, Crusoe Osagie, has alleged the All Progressives Congress seven-member screening committee deliberately exempted his boss, Godwin Obaseki, from the screening process.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered from different sources present at the secretariat that Mr Obaseki barely spent up to 15 minutes after his arrival at the party’s secretariat before he left the premises. According to the APC’s released order of events, the screening is to span June 10 to 11. This means Mr Obaseki now has only Thursday to attend the party’s screening process or risk being disqualified from the race.Speaking to this newspaper, the party’s national spokesperson, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said he was unaware of what transpired between Mr Obaseki and the screening committee.

The controversies started Monday after the party posted Mr Obaseki’s credentials, alongside that of other five aspirants battling for the Edo APC governorship ticket at the party’s secretariat for public scrutiny.
