Ahead of the governorship election in Edo State, the state’s
deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu has vowed to defeat the anointed candidate of
Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Shaibu said he would defeat Obaseki’s anointed candidate
because he has the backing of the people of the state.
He spoke while appearing on a TVC programme on Monday
evening.
According to Shaibu: “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.”

Just dey dream. You that can not win ur ward, polling unit and ur local govt, u want to become Edo state governor. If not for Oshiomhole's backing, u can not win a local govt councilor. Oshiomhole makes u to become 2 times House of Assembly member, he also makes u to win the seat of federal house of representatives. Your political career is dead bcoz u bite the finger that fed u.
