The certificate forgery suit filed against Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State by the All Progressives Congress will be heard by the Federal High Court, Abuja, today.

The Registrar of the Institution, Olubunmi Faluyi, in a statement released noted that Obaseki gained admission in 1976 and studied Classics.

The APC called on the court to nullify his nomination by the PDP for the September 19 election.
The suit was filed by the opposition on July 14 shortly after Obaseki emerged as the candidate of the PDP.
