I’m Confident I’ll Win The Forthcoming Governorship Election – Philip Shaibu

The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has come out to express confidence in his victory in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he would definitely defeat the preferred candidate of the state governor, Godwin Obaseki in the elections, because Edo people want their own to emerge Governor.

Philip added that it is a shame to see how Obaseki allowed certain individuals that have interest in governance to come between them.

His words, “Definitely, I’ll defeat the so-called candidate of the governor, not because I have the power, but because Edo people want their own and I am their own. Edo people do not want importation; they want their own.

The problem I have with the governor is that he has allowed certain individuals that have interest in governance to come between us.

He is managing in his own style and the way he feels he can manage it. I am also managing it the way I feel I can manage it.

When I said I was pressed, but not distressed, I understand the kind of intimidation and oppression I have gone through.”
