Presently, the deputy governor is navigating a challenging relationship with his current principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki, owing to his intention to succeed him as the governor of the state.
Featuring on TVC’s morning show, Yourview on Monday in Lagos, Shaibu, expressing remorse for his previous choice of words against Oshiomhole, extended an apology and sought forgiveness. Despite their political differences, he emphasized the enduring paternal connection he shares with the former governor.
While discussing his ambition to succeed Governor Obaseki, Shaibu revealed that it was driven by a divine conviction to serve the state and restore governance to the people. He acknowledged consulting widely with various individuals and groups within and outside Edo State, and he also sought guidance through prayer before publicly declaring his intention to contest.
“Yes, I want to be the next Governor of Edo State, not because I am Philip Shaibu, but because it is my constitutional right,” affirmed Shaibu.
He acknowledged the Governor’s plans to support another candidate but highlighted the signs he received during his consultations and prayers, which encouraged him to pursue his aspiration.
