Edo governorship: UI confirmation further strengthens Obaseki’s integrity, says Ojezua

Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Anslem Ojezua, says  clearance by the authorities of the University of Ibadan (UI) has further strengthened the integrity of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Ojezua told newsmen on Wednesday in Benin, while reacting to the confirmation by UI, that Obaseki actually graduated from the institution.
“This is not a case of Toronto or Chicago. UI is not a university that you just walk into and graduate.
“It just takes about three hours from Benin to go to  the university and verify if you are in doubt or visit the internet.
“Shame on  all those who have been witchhunting Obaseki that he never graduated from the university,” Ojezua said
According to him, the clearance from UI has strengthened the integrity of Obaseki, laid to rest the issue of whether he graduated from the institution.
Speaking on the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use direct mode of primary to conduct APC governorship primary in Edo, Ojezua asked “is INEC a member of APC? It is not.”
On the relocation of APC secretariat in Edo State, Ojezua said it was contempt of court to do so by the National Chairman and Col. David Imose (rtd).
“The new secretariat according to the national chairman is an illegal secretariat,” he said
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the APC, Mr Samson Osagie said, “INEC is simply following the law according to the provisions of the Electoral Act.”
According to Osagie, the party has communicated the mode of the primary to INEC and INEC has to follow the law.
