Edo: ‘i’m Not In Competition With You’ – Shaibu Tells Obaseki by Karemarealty288(op): 6:52am On Dec 11, 2023
Deputy Governor of Edo State Philip Shaibu has said he is not in competition with Governor Godwin Obaseki.

This followed the governor’s decision to pay the hospital bills of the attacked players and officials of Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, side, Sunshine Stars Football Club of Akure.


Armed Robbers had attacked a bus conveying Sunshine Stars along the Ore-Benin Expressway while en route to Benin for a scheduled NPFL Match against Bendel Insurance.

A ball boy was shot, while the players and other officials were highly traumatised and disoriented after the attack.

Shaibu had visited the players and promised to foot their hospital bills. But Obaseki also pledged that the state government would foot the hospital bills of the injured players and officials.

Reacting to Obaseki’s gesture, Shaibu said he would no longer foot the bills of the players and officials.

A statement by Shaibu’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebomhiana Musa, on Sunday evening, said: Our attention has been drawn to the fact that His Excellency, the Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has directed that the medical bill of the injured Ball Boy and Kit Manager of Sunshine Stars FC of Akure be paid by Edo State government.

“Consequently, the state’s Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu, has withdrawn his earlier promise to pay the medical bill.


The office of Governor and Deputy Governor are one. We are not in any way in competition.”


Obaseki and Shaibu have been at loggerheads despite their alleged reconciliation.

Amid the face-off, Shaibu declared interest to run for governor of the state but Obaseki said members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will determine his fate.

When a deputy says "I will" instead of 'the state will" when on an official assignment, that becomes a selfish or personal interest and no principal will take that. embarassed. The next place that will become the deputy governor's office may be the sambisa forest shocked, the last time he was relocated from the govts house to it's present location when he became at loggerheads with the governorcheesy grin

But Sir (Philip), must you be a Governor?

Oga Obaseki, you no do well at all.
The most loyal Deputy Governor that has ever been in this country is Philip Shuaibu! Despite the odds between you and Adams Oshiomole, he stood with you.

Stop parading the display between you please.

Indeed obaseki is doing everything possible to appease edo people..while the deputy is doing everything possible to get the most votes next year...sudden change to humility and loyalty to his boss shows indeed shaibu is a strategic politician...
