The bitter political war between Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu, appears not to be ending anytime soon.
Be that as it may, Shaibu, has declared he would defeat Governor Obaseki’s anointed candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Shaibu, who happened to be Obaseki’s greatest ally in the last election, made the shocking revelation in an interview recently.
He said; “Definitely, I’ll defeat the so-called candidate of the governor, not because I have the power, but because Edo people want their own and I am their own. Edo people do not want importation; they want their own.”
“The problem I have with the governor is that he has allowed certain individuals that have interest in governance to come between us.”
“He is managing in his own style and the way he feels he can manage it. I am also managing it the way I feel I can manage it.”
“When I said I was pressed, but not distressed, I understand the kind of intimidation and oppression I have gone through.”
