Authorities of the University of Ibadan (UI), for the second time since June 2020, have cleared Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, of allegation of forging his degree certificate.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and one of its chieftains, Mr. Williams Edobor, had sued Obaseki for allegedly forging the university certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in aid of his qualification for the September 19 governorship election in Edo State.
The plaintiffs want the court to disqualify Obaseki, who won the election, in the event that he was found to have forged his degree certificate obtained from UI in 1979.
