Amid the fanfare that greeted Governor Godwin Obaseki’s pitching tent with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest for re-election in Edo State, his Deputy, Right Honourable Philip Shaibu, has also led his supporters in defecting to the PDP.

Comrade Shaibu, who spoke to journalists after obtaining his PDP membership card at the party secretariat in Benin City, expressed disappointment over the undemocratic actions and tendencies of Comrade Adams Oshiomole in his management of the APC at the national level.

He stated, “I have a mixed feeling with this action. First, one struggled to form a party and after forming that party, those that benefited from the party took over the party and became tyrants. It is not always easy that after one helped to form and nurture a party, one individual would say he is an Adolf Hitler in the system and becomes undemocratic. That was what happened in the APC.”

Comrade Shaibu, however, expressed his unalloyed loyalty to Edo people, noting that their calls for the governor and his team to join the PDP has been heard.

He assured that Governor Obaseki remains steadfast with his vision and mission to actualise the aspirations of Edo people and that the strides made in social, economic and human capital development of the state must not be compromised.

He said: “Some of us believe in the people. We believe that the people must lead at all times. Because of that, we cannot afford to abandon this state for people like that. That is why we decided to abandon them in APC and join the PDP today.”

Good... Godfatherism is the bane of modern democracy.

Fvck dem all

This is just the beginning of the end for APC in Nigeria.

Dear Nigerian Youths,
When it rains, the APC chieftain runs under the Umbrella to getprotected and when the house gets dirty, the PDP chieftain gets a broom to clean.

Understand this dynamics and you won't have to die a needless death.

Good for them

Even though I'm an Edo boy, Igarra, I find this back and forth thread about APC and Edo rukus stale. Obaseki has moved, Oshio has been discharged. What's with the on and on trouble? Abeg I don tire, no be only Edo dey naija. Clearly looking at it, matter don settle until after election and we'll have everyone shouting again.

nice one from the deputy governor of Edo state.

APC die die die die oo ooooo!

Shaibu the strong guy.

Very loyal and dependable deputy

Oshiomole hasn't kill anyone yet.

Now Lets Take The War To War Saw To See The Type Of War Ahead.

Oshiomole is just an example of how power intoxicates the average Nigerian.

This is just the beginning of the end for APC in Nigeria.
