The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Saturday declared Governor Godwin Obaseki duly qualified to contest the September 2020 election held in Edo State.
The suit, which has generated interests within and outside Edo State, was filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a member of the party, Williams Edobor.
The plaintiffs accused the governor of forging his Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies certificate which he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in support of his nomination as a candidate in the Edo State governorship election and therefore sought his disqualification.
The governor, who contested and won the September 2020 election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, denied the allegation.
