Announcing the disqualification at the party headquarters in Abuja, the chairman of the screening committee, Professor Jonathan Ayuba, said only three aspirants were qualified to contest for the primary.
According to the screening committee, Obaseki presented the Higher School Certificate which the panel said was defective as no such certificate in existence, adding that the National Youth Service Corps certificate he presented did not have his name written properly.
Based on these, the committee said the governor is not qualified to contest for the party primary scheduled for June 22.
Precise Post recalls that Governor Obaseki had shortly after storming out of the screening committee venue on Thursday raised the alarm that he cannot get justice since the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomole is an interested Party.
