I Fought Oshiomhole Because Of Obaseki – Shaibu

Edo State Deputy Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant, Philip Shaibu has revealed what he did for Governor Godwin Obaseki.

He said: “This is the same Governor that has issued me several commendation letters till date, that I am the best Deputy Governor any Governor will wish to have because of my efficiency, transparency and accountability.”

“Anyone who says I betrayed the governor is not correct. We all agreed as a Group to fight godfathers – even the Governor pledged to fight godfatherism in the state, and said he should be dealt with if he turns around and attempts to play the role of a godfather.”

“Because I hate oppression, I staked my relationship with Oshiomhole. That relationship, I lost about 20% of my political capital in Edo North to support Godwin Obaseki and in supporting him, even as deputy governor who does not have any line financially, through my friends and others, I supported the second term bid of the governor with my structure, all my vehicles and finances including how we got the ticket of PDP, I contributed financially.”
