SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, (THEWILL) – Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has thrown a jab at the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, over Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki.
Wike, in his first public comment on the issue suggested that Oshiomhole himself doesn’t have a certificate but disqualified the Edo State governor over his certificate.
Wike who hosted Obaseki in Port Harcourt on Sunday took to his twitter account @GovWike to point out that it was an irony.
“Obaseki was disqualified by someone who doesn’t have a certificate, what an irony!”, the Wike tweeted.

THEWILL recalls that the APC screening committee had screened out Obaseki from the June 22 governorship primary of the party over inconsistencies on his certificate from the Institute of Continuous Education and wrongful spelling of his name on his NYSC certificate.
The development comes on the heels of power tussle between Obaseki and Oshiomhole ahead of the state governorship election coming up later in the year.
