APC Justified For Disqualifying Obaseki: He Just Gets Corrected 1980  NYSC Certificate

Godwin Obaseki

The All Progressives Congress (APC) might have saved itself from embarrassment of losing Edo State via the electoral technicality when it disqualified it’s Governor, Godwin Obaseki, from taking part in the primaries on the basis of discrepancies in his certificate, for his possible second term in office.
This fact came to light late last week when the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) hurriedly issued him a corrected version of his 1980 NYSC discharged certificate which APC considered to be questionable. The new discharged certificate has as its number A 004280695.
Obaseki’s new discharge certificate was issued on June 19, 2020.
A memo signed on behalf of NYSC Director-General by K.N Okonofua was also attached with the title: ‘Re-correction of name and re-issuance of my certificate of national service’.
The memo read: “We refer to your letter referenced OEG/ABJ/99/VOL.IV/172 dated 18th June 2020, 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 theH surname OBASEK.
“Accept the assurances of the Director-General’s regard.”
