The PDP, not me, will determine the fate of Shaibu – Obaseki
Edo Governor, Godwin Obaseki, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will determine the fate of his deputy, Philip Shaibu, following the latter’s ambition to rule.
On Monday, Shaibu threw himself into the governorship race, asserting his intention to contest the 2024 gubernatorial election in Edo State.
Obaseki, who switched from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP after a fallout along with his predecessor Adams Oshiomhole, now says the nation’s most important opposition occasion would determine the fate of his deputy.
“The party will decide and also the party members will decide who will be the flag bearer of the party in the upcoming governorship elections,” Obaseki, 66, stated after a closed-door assembly along with his Bauchi counterpart, Bala Mohammed, and a former -Akwa. -Governor of Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel.
“The relationship, as you know, has been cordial. He (Philip) wants to run for the position I currently occupy and he has the freedom to do so. I think as a Nigerian he has the constitutional right to run, no one can or should stop him.”
But when requested if he would assist Shaibu, he stated: “I am just one among millions of members of our party in Edo State. I do not believe that my vote alone will determine whether he will become the flag bearer of the party.”
