Ondo Poll: My Certificates Genuine Says Aiyedatiwa

The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has affirmed that his credentials are genuine which would grant him the opportunity to run for the seat of governor in the forth-coming governorship election in the state.

Aiyedatiwa who was screened on Friday by the All Progressives Congress screening committee for the upcoming governorship spoke against the backdrop of the academic certificate forgery allegation levelled against him recently.

The governor said this on Friday when he became the first aspirant to be cleared by the APC screening committee ahead of the party’s governorship primary slated for April 20.

Aiyadatiwa while addressing journalist said, “Screening is one of the processes aspirants have to go through. Mine has just been done this morning and all documents that were submitted have to be verified and questions asked where some are not too clear to the screening committee. Questions were asked and answered.

“At the end of the day, I have been cleared, especially on the issue that has to do with my certificate that a petition was written. Today, that has been put to rest. My certificates are genuine and authentic.”
