Supreme Court has decided on a suit challenging Obaseki’s qualification.
News Online reports that the Supreme Court, Nigeria’s apex court has dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, challenging the academic qualification of the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
This online news platform understands that Supreme Court panel in a judgment on Friday evening, held that the appellants – APC and one of its chieftains, Edobor Williams – failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt.
The apex court, News Online reports, added that the appellants failed woefully to prove their case as they did not provide any disclaimer from the school that the certificate, whose authenticity they challenged, was not issued to Obaseki by the institution.
News Online understands that the Supreme Court proceeded to uphold the March 18, 2021 judgment of the Court of Appeal, which earlier affirmed the January 9, 2021 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja upholding the authenticity of the first decree certificate in Classics issued to Obaseki by the University of Ibadan (UI).
