The victory was the result of persistent efforts by the governor and a team of lawyers who painstakingly proved to the court that the Ibadan University (UI) certificate of Obaseki was not forged as claimed by some disgruntled persons in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Earlier, Obaseki won the certificate forgery suit instituted against him by the APC and one of its members, Edobor Williams. The court sitting in Abuja dismissed the suit on Saturday, January 9.
Legit.ng gathered that Justice Ahmed Mohammed held that the plaintiffs failed to prove their claim that Obaseki forged the academic certificates that he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The judge reportedly berated the plaintiffs for failing to make any efforts to cross-check from the University of Ibadan and the West African Examination Council (WAEC) that issued the certificates they claimed Obaseki forged.
