I’ll Have Obaseki’s Support To Be The Next Governor Of Edo State – Philip Shaibu

Edo State Deputy Governor and governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2024 governorship election in the state, Philip Shaibu has come out to express confidence that the state governor, Godwin Obaseki will support him in his ambition of becoming the governor.

He recently had his say while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Godwin Obaseki remains his governor, boss and senior brother, so his support is definitely guaranteed ahead of election date.

Philip added that the governor already said he would back whoever wins the primary poll.

His words, “I can bet you that Mr Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, my boss and senior brother will support me.

He has said it at the secretariat where we had our stakeholders meeting that whoever wins, he will support and whoever that will win is nobody but Philip Shaibu.

He (Obaseki) has denied supporting Asue even when we know he is supporting him. But that is not an issue for me. I am a homeboy and I understand the politics of Edo state.

As somebody who is experienced, I have an edge over him. He is coming with private sector experience. I am coming with both private sector and public sector experience.”
