He has become very desperate to become Governor and doesn’t mind carrying out a coup against me - Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state explains why he fell out with the state’s Deputy Governor, Phillip Shaibu

Sharing the reason for the fallout during a meeting with PDP members, Obaseki recalled how the Shaibu refused attending a meeting for selection of Commissioners, but instead travelled to Abuja.

The Edo state Governor said upon his return to the state and after the state house of assembly was inducted, Shaibu allegedly called APC chieftains, telling them that he has five PDP members that are loyal to him and who will work with APC state lawmakers to produce a speaker.

Obaseki who described this as a coup, said he convened a meeting with PDP members at his private apartment after being told of Shaibu’s alleged dealings.

He also disclosed that Shaibu tried barging into the meeting which wasn’t held at the state house, but was turned back because he now knows they don’t have a common interest.

Obaseki described Shaibu as a desperate man who can do anything to become Governor. He also accused him of lying in the affidavit filed before the court, to stop any impeachment proceedings against home.

Hmmm

Once his best paddy man, now his worst enemy

Shaibu really took the free hand Obaseki gave him to operate for granted. After serving in house of assembly for 8 years, house of reps for 18 months and now deputy governor for over 7 years, he still want to contest for governor even when he knows that it is the turn of Edo central.
Philip Shaibu has committed the worst political blunder of his life.

I don’t know reason for booking this space

That's their business.

I heard from a reliable source that this Obaseki is a serial betrayal.

U fought Ishiomole,now u are fighting your deputy.

Mitcheeeew!

u never see anything

Obaseki and Shuaibu should find ways to sort their personal fracas and leave us alone to focus on more pressing societal concerns .

So what are you going to do about it?
