BREAKING: Following assassination attack, Shaibu discloses next political move

Philip Shaibu, the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, has revealed that he is an unofficial member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Shaibu stated that the only reason he remains in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is that he has not officially defected to the APC.

According to The Punch, Shaibu made this statement on Arise TV's morning show, where he explained that his spirit had already left the PDP.

Shaibu emphasized that he is free to support any candidate he chooses, even though he is still a member of the PDP.

He acknowledged that it may seem like he has one leg in the APC and one in the PDP but clarified that he is fully committed to the APC.

Shaibu alleged that he has tried to contact his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki, numerous times but has been ignored.

He claimed to have called Obaseki 111 times without getting a response and has since stopped trying to contact him.

What was Shaibu impeached as deputy governor?

Shaibu was impeached by the State House of Assembly on April 8, 2024, but was reinstated on Wednesday after a court ruling declared his impeachment unjust.

A police officer was killed on Thursday when mobs attacked the convoy of Shaibu and APC governorship candidate Monday Okpebholo in Benin, the state capital.

Shaibu and Okpebholo had arrived at the Benin Airport to a warm welcome from supporters before the attack occurred.
