The vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa, has said that he lost his West Africa School Certificate (WASC), but that he had a good result.
“Yes, I lost my WASC certificate, but I have the printout from Edo College, Benin City, which clearly stated that I have distinction in all subjects.
“The Higher School Certificate was attached and it has been acknowledged by Edo College and the school put it out there that I made an ‘A’ `B’ `B’,” said Mr Okowa, who is the governor of Delta State.
Mr Okowa’s remarks were contained in a statement issued by the Press Unit, Delta State Government House, Asaba.
He was said to have made the remarks on Tuesday while speaking to journalists after inspecting projects at the Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro in Isoko North Local Government Area.
“I do not pride myself but it was very difficult to make such grades in higher school at that time.
“My high school result was the second-best nationally in 1976 when I finished. So, many universities admitted me through Telegram at that time, and I had to start making choices of which to accept,” the governor said.
