The governor visited the party’s secretariat in Abuja to appear before the PDP Edo State Gubernatorial Screening Committee.
This comes a day after he picked his expression of interest and nomination forms at the party’s national office ahead of the September 19 governorship election.
In a tweet, Obaseki said he was being screened.
“I am currently being screened by the @OfficialPDPNig Screening Committee to participate in the Edo State Primary election scheduled for June 25, 2020,” he wrote.

Governor Obaseki was screened by the five-man committee led by Kingsley Chinda with Boyele Debekeme as the secretary.
Members of the committee included Oladimeji Fabiyi, Senator Joy Emordi, and Aishat Hasindu.
The committee had screened three aspirants – Gideon Ikhine, Ogbeide Ihama, and Kenneth Imansuangbon.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) had disqualified him from participating in its primary over “defective” certificates.
Obaseki is up against three other aspirants for the governorship ticket. They are Gideon Ikhine, Ogbeide Ihama, and Kenneth Imansuagbon.
The PDP had fixed June 19 and 20 to conduct the exercise but shifted the date to June 23, and later June 25.
