A campaign vehicle belonging to the Deputy Governor of Edo State and an aspirant in the governorship election, Philip Shaibu, has been reportedly vandalised by suspected hoodlums in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government area.

The incident reportedly happened on Sunday night after a meeting of the supporters of Shaibu in Illeh, Ward 10.

Narrating the incident on the phone, the Coordinator of Shaibu’s campaign in the area, Otoide Abas said the vandalised vehicle had been retrieved by the police and he was at the police station.

He said, “We had just concluded a meeting with Ward 10 (Illeh) PDP faithful when the incident occurred. We started the meeting at about 5:00 pm and we finished a few minutes to six.

“After the meeting, we went in the Sienna bus given to us by Comrade Shaibu to Ekpoma to meet with other supporters and we decided to make a quick stop at the local market square in Ekpoma to purchase some beef barbecue (Suya).

“We were standing by where we wanted to buy something when we saw about seven boys come down from a bus packed close by and started shooting, we all ran for safety and they went to where we parked the bus and destroyed it.

“Police retrieved the vehicle that night and as I am talking to you, I am in the police station because I was told to report today (Monday).”

Shaibu said he had experienced numerous attempts to impede his campaign and recently complained of alleged state-sponsored vandalisation of his billboards, targeting his candidature but he remained committed to his mission of reclaiming the state from business-oriented individuals who prioritise personal gains over the welfare of the people.

The deputy governor, in November, made a formal announcement expressing his desire to compete for the Peoples Democratic Party ticket in the forthcoming party primaries.

His formal declaration came after a months-long crisis between Shaibu and his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Philip Shaibu is just deceiving him, he will never be given the Pdp governorship ticket in Edo State. Shaibu is just wasting money and resources niii

This man should just enter another party on time if he realy wants to contest for the governorship bcs pdp will never give him the ticket

I am happy seeing Shaibu being humiliated left, right and center. Certainly, Edo no be Lagos.

Eh ya

Handwork of APC

Yinmu

Nigerian politics don grow pass these old gimmicks at least na.

Philip Shuaibu is too desperate.
This format to whip up sentiments is obsolete and Edos are far more advanced than this.

The other day he called one of the aspirants an 'outsider' just because he was based outside Edo State; that's unintelligent and desperate.

TruthsFM:

And that is a sufficient reason to destroy his campaign vehicles?

Shuaibu is using old and obsolete tactics to whip up sentiments and garner support.
Unfortunately, he has been left behind. Obaseki has used and dumped him. He has no place in Obaseki's PDP and for as long as APC holds sway in Edo North and Nigeria in general, Shuaibu's time in politics is passed. He should move to Labour Party and take up a career in activism on the social media.

Shuaibu should waste no more money, he should just relax and enjoy his looted funds instead of wasting it cuz governor eeeeeee? Naaaa JBL EarPod him us for your matter with highest volume—— he no dey hear anything shuai

Obaseki should fire on

Sometimes i feel deputy governors and vice presidents aspiring to be governor and president after 8years in the later position is done out of greed.

there are qualified persons among the populace to fit in such positions.life na turn by turn

those that destroyed it are from APC

Na una wahala .. we no care

APC boys are really daft when we say Edo no be lagos, that point has been proven beyond reasonable doubts. You can go and die if you want.

Present yourself as godfather and watch your candidate loose

Paying him back in his own currency
