Adams Oshiomhole has revealed that the materials with which Obaseki was disqualified was provided by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
NAIJA NEWS NG reports that the former Chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC) made this revelation at his Benin City home yesterday Thursday 23 July. Oshiomhole said the party doesn’t want lightning to strike twice, that the party doesn’t want what happened in Bayelsa State in 2019 to repeat in Edo State.
Oshiomhole said:
“In 2016, PDP took Obaseki to court that he forged certificates. Now, you remember one governor that said there are tax collectors, when something moved, they collected the taxes and the certificates became okay.
“But let me tell you, members of APC’s screening committee knew that the man who forged documents, even if you vote for him, you know what happened to us in Bayelsa state.
“So, I need to assure you that the decision of the screening committee members to disqualify the sitting governor was based on the evidence provided by PDP leaders in 2016, which they found to be correct and you do not repeat the same mistake twice.
“The only task we have is to go to every unit, every community, every ward, every local government area and remind them of where we stopped and ask them since we left, what new thing has been brought?
“If I failed Godwin Obaseki’s examination, by the grace of God on Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, I will score A1.”
