Edo State Governor, H. E. Godwin Obaseki who was disqualified by the APC screening committee on Friday on the ground of defective NYSC certificate has announced his resignation from the party.
His resignation comes after his visit to the President of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari on Monday.
Recall that on Sunday, Gov. Obaseki informed his supporters that he was going to visit President Buhari concerning his “unjust disqualification” after telling his party members to keep calm.
