Documents Revealed That Obaseki Lied About Mistake In His NYSC Certificate

July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 - by Precise Post - Leave a Comment

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state lied when he claimed in public that there was no problem with his certificate. A report by Pulse has revealed that after the claim, the governor went in secret to correct the error. In a report by the news medium, it discovered from documents made public by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, was dishonest about a certificate issue that contributed to his exit from the All Progressives’ Congress (APC). Recall that the 63-year-old exited the APC on June 16, 2020, and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) days later after the party’s screening committee disqualified him from contesting in its primary election which would have given him the ticket to contest for a second term in office. When Jonathan Ayuba presented the committee’s report to the party’s now-disbanded National Working Committee (NWC) on June 12, he said Obaseki was not cleared because of inconsistencies in his higher school certificate and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate. He said the seven-member committee observed that the governor’s NYSC certificate bears the name ‘Obasek’ …

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for hiking fuel price as Nigerians battle coronavirus pandemic that has killed many and caused serious hunger in the land. The party rejected the increase in price of petrol from N123 to N143.80 per liter, saying the Federal Government unsympathetic with Nigerian masses. In a statement on Thursday by the spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party described the increase as a punishment to Nigerians given the prevailing economic hardship in the country. The party described the hike, despite the decline in the price of crude oil in the international market, as grossly unjustifiable and further exposes the insincerity of the administration. The PDP noted that in directing a fuel price increase at the time Nigerians are facing the economic and social trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration showed a total lack of human feelings to the plights of the citizenry. The statement said, “Our party challenges the APC-led Federal Government to present to Nigerians, the indices and parameters it used to determine the price increase, which obviously cannot …
