BREAKING: Gov Obaseki accepts disqualification by Edo APC Governorship screening committee.

Following his disqualification by the All Progressive Congress screening Committee for the Edouard state governorship primary election, Gov Godwin Obaseki has rejected the outcome of the screening committee to disqualify him, saying he would not appeal his disqualification by the committee.

In a statement by his spokesman, Crusoe Osagie, Governor Obaseki described the exercise as a mockery of the democratic process.

The governor noted that he had initially asserted that there was no way that he would get a fair assessment in the run-up to the nomination of the party’s flagbearer in the September 19 poll.

“We have, therefore, decided that it would be an effort in futility to appeal whatever the unjust outcome of the evaluation and screening process of the APC will be, especially when Comrade Oshiomhole has declared that he is the Supreme Court and ultimate determiner of the fate and future of our great party,” he alleged.
