An allegation of forgery has continued to trail the submitted credentials of the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, as he joined other five aspirants in battling for the All Progressives Congress the state governorship ticket.
Mr Obaseki, in his secondary school certificate obtained in June 1973, had three credits, three passes grade out of the six subjects recorded in his O’level results, a grade combination many believed as lower than acceptable points for the entrance examination into the university back then, unless he sat for other exams to combine the result.
“How come the UI allowed him then? Did he do a remedial? Which was not unlikely. These are questions. Many came in especially in education and linguistics, did remedial for one year and if the result was good, gained direct entry and graduated three years after,” Mr Oshiomhole told journalists on Tuesday at the inauguration of the APC’s screening and appeal committees drawn from academia to vent the credentials of the six governorship aspirants.
Defending the fastidiousness of the aspirants screening process, Mr Oshiomhole said it is to avert a replica of what happened to the party in the post-Bayelsa 2019 governorship election.
