BREAKING: Edo Deputy Governor Shaibu Dumps PDP, Rejoins APC
We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our body, and we move on.
Benin, Edo State– Philip Shaibu, the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, officially rejoined the All Progressives Congress on Saturday, from the Peoples Democratic Party.
The deputy governor, who rejoined the APC in Benin, the state capital, alongside key figures from the Dan Orbih-led Legacy Group of the PDP, stated that his return was aimed at enhancing the party’s value.
He said, “On behalf of the Legacy Group, I announce our movement to the APC. We have come to add value to the party.
“It is time to take back our state. We will not talk too much because action will speak for us. We are not afraid. We are ready to move forward.
“We, the homeboys, are ready to take our state back through the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.
“We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our body, and we move on.”
Shaibu arrived at the venue around 2:08 pm, made his way directly to where former Governor Senator Adams Oshiomhole was seated, and knelt before him, prompting applause from the party supporters.
