The Screening Appeal Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Saturday, upheld the disqualification of Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, from the party’s primary.

 

The decision followed a review of a report submitted by the party’s screening committee.

Chairman of the appeal panel, Dr. Abubakar Fari, who submitted the committee’s report to the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee, also revealed that only one out of the three disqualified aspirants appealed the decision.

“We looked at the grounds on which Obaseki was disqualified and I would like to say his disqualification was based on solid grounds,” Fari said.
