The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the
September 19 election in Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki has obtained a new
discharge certificate from the National Youth Service Corps with number
A 004280695.
The Independent National Electoral Commission in
Edo State had late Thursday displayed the forms of the 14 governorship
candidates that will contest for the election at the commission’s
secretariat in Benin City.
Our correspondent, who visited the
office on Friday, observed that Obaseki’s new discharge certificate was
issued on June 19, attached with a memo entitled, ‘Re-correction of name
and re-issuance of my certificate of national service’, and signed on
behalf of the Director-General by Mrs K.N Okonofua.
The memo read, “We refer to your letter referenced OEG/ABJ/99/VOL.IV/172 dated 18th June 202, on the above subject matter
“I
am directed to inform you that after the investigation, the management
of the National Youth Service has approved a new certificate of National
Service reflecting the surname OBASEKI be produced as earlier
certificate number 063107 dated 6th August 1980 has been cancelled due
to an error in the surname OBASEK
“Accept the assurances of the Director-General’s regard.”
Obaseki
was, among other matters including credential discrepancy, disqualified
by the All Progressives Congress screening committee from contesting
the party’s primary.
On INEC’s notice board, Obaseki filled West
African School Leaving Certificate, 1973, and Bachelor of Arts, 1979, as
his qualifications.
His major contender in the election and
candidate of the APC, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has his highest qualification as
LLB from the University of Benin.
The credentials of the other governorship candidates for the election were also displayed.
