Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu has revealed why he fell out with the former national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole.
According to Comrade Shaibu, he and Oshiomhole went their separate ways because he refused to do his bidding. He stated this when he spoke to journalists in Benin City, Edo State on Thursday, August 6.
According to him, Oshiomhole wanted him to impeach his boss, Governor Godwin Obaseki, which he said he turned down while declaring his unwavering loyalty to Governor Obaseki.
Comrade Shaibu said he begged Oshiomhole to let go of any grievance he had against Obaseki because the governor was doing well for the Edo people, a plea which Shaibu said fell on deaf ears.
He went on to reveal that on realizing that Oshiomhole had declared a war against the governor, he told the ex-APC national chairman that he will stand with his boss come what may. According to Philip Shaibu, the ploy was to remove Governor Obaseki at the onset and replace him with his deputy, but he said he refused, stating that it was not his “will nor nature” to betray.
Further, he stated that his loyalty to Governor Obaseki is unwavering, adding that he hates and has been fighting against oppression, and will not stand for the form of oppression which Oshiomhole is championing.
