The National Working Committee (NWC) of the party also confirmed the disqualification of the governor.
The party's national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, said in addition to presenting faulty certificates, Obaseki abused his powers as governor of Edo state.
Meanwhile, as aspirants continue to outsmart one another ahead of the Edo state 2020 governorship election, Kenneth Imasuagbon has said he is convinced of coasting to victory in September, saying “God told me that.”
Imasuagbon, who is eyeing the Edo government power-seat on the platform of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made this disclosure on Monday, June 8, during a programme on Channels TV.
Speaking further, Imasuagbon stated that time and power belong to God but he has received a divine confirmation that he will be given the mantle of power in the state come September.
The frontline PDP aspirant also boasted that he has the backing of the people of Edo state to scale through the hurdles of primary and win the election.
“I will be governor. God has told me that. No man born of woman will stop me. I can tell you I’m unstoppable. I have God and I have Edo people backing me,” Imasuagbon said.
Imasuagbon also claimed that no aspirants coming on the platform of the opposition party have his credentials and political acceptability.
