Edo Guber: Obaseki made Philip Shaibu decamp to APC – Oshiomhole

by admin

Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole on Saturday said the embattled Deputy Governor of the state, Philip Shaibu has decamped to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Oshiomhole said Shaibu decamped to APC due to the frustration he suffered in the hands of Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The senator spoke at UNIBEN during the grand finale of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship campaign.

He accused Obaseki of diverting funds and allocations from the Federal Government, meant for projects in the state, into his private pocket.

On September 21, the people of Edo State will decide their next governor.

Frontrunners in Saturday’s governorship election are Monday Okpebholo of the APC, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party, LP.

According to report Obaseki and Shaibu had endured a troubled relationship.

The strife led to the impeachment of Shaibu by the Edo State House of Assembly.

But an Appeal Court sitting in Abuja reinstated Shaibu as deputy governor.

Speaking at the campaign ground, Oshiomhole said: “It’s only under Obaseki that his deputy governor had to decamp to APC due to his frustration.

“Obaseki has refused to sign the Peace Accord. They killed the policeman attached to our governor in waiting but Obaseki warned that they should not be arrested.”
