In the same certificate, he made P7 in English and failed Mathematics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;He claimed he entered university the very year he left secondary school. How could he have gained admission with such result? The result was not even good enough for any form of preliminary studies.\u00a0This can only mean that Godwin Obaseki forged certificates to gain admission to the University of Ibadan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;It is obvious that the man has no requisite academic qualifications for admission as he had only three credits. How could you secure admission to study Classics without credit in English? It means that talks of his certificates missing and that he swore affidavit were all set out to cover a fraud.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;These credentials are certainly not intimidating. I must lay bare this information to Edo people so that we know if we have another \u2018Chicago\u2019 or \u2018Toronto\u2019 forged certificates saga in our hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/edo-governorship-orbih-faults-apc-candidate-obasekis-waec-result\/attachment\/waec-result-1973-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-52492\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52492\" src=\"http:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442.jpg\" alt=\"WAEC Result 1973-1\" width=\"1700\" height=\"2200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442.jpg 1700w, https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442-309x400.jpg 309w, https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442-600x776.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442-1170x1514.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/WAEC-Result-1973-1-e1471805524442-585x757.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1700px) 100vw, 1700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">END<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;Says it could not have qualified him for UI admission Edo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, has poked holes in the 1973 West African&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
