Edo 2024: Obaseki Against God’s Plan For Me – Shaibu

The deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has alleged his principal Godwin Obaseki of trying to truncate his ambition to contest the governorship seat.

Shaibu who said his decision to run for governorship was divine, added that he had consulted widely.

The deputy governor, however, said despite receiving divine signals to run for the election, Obaseki has his own plan.

The governorship hopeful who spoke during an interview on a private broadcast television station in Lagos, warned that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, can only win the governorship election with him on the ballot.

He said: “Before publicly declaring my interest to contest, l had consulted widely with many persons and groups within and outside Edo State.

“Moreover, l went into prayers to seek guidance and direction from God.

“The signs l received encouraged me to go ahead with my aspiration, though it was obvious the governor had his own plans of supporting another person.

“If my party wants to win the election in Edo State, they should give it (ticket) to Philip Shaibu, but if they want to lose, they should give it to somebody else, not because I am a superstar but because I have the content, I have the quality, I have the experience.”
