Governorship candidate of the APC, Mr Godwin Obaseki, yesterday, disclosed that he has found his missing certificates, saying those raising false alarm over the issue are only scared of his credentials.
The state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), had, on Monday, expressed worries over an affidavit sworn to by Obaseki at an Abuja High Court stating that he lost his academic qualifications while moving his office from one place to another, saying the reasons adduced by Obaseki were flimsy and unconvincing.
However, speaking on Wednesday at an interactive session organised by civil societies for governorship candidates in Edo State, Obaseki said the opposition PDP were jittery of his academic qualifications because they don’t have the quality of the resume he possesses.
He said, “I have found them. The truth is that I have not had any reason to look for them in the last 25 years. I know that I kept them somewhere in a safe box and I had photocopies.
“When I needed them for the exercise, I couldn’t find them, so I swore to an affidavit that I can’t find the originals. I said I can’t find them; here are the photocopies.
“I took the photocopies to the institutions that issued them and they certified the photocopies. So, when the whole controversy started raging, my cousin called me from New York and said, ‘but your originals are here.’ I said please send them to me now.”
