Comrade Philip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, has refuted a story entitled ‘why I haven’t discussed rift with Obaseki to anyone – Shaibu’ which has been trending on social media platforms.
In a statement emanating from Musa Ebomhiana, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Deputy Governor, he said: “‘The story with the above headline which has been trending on the social media platforms has not been authorized by Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu.
“It’s nothing but the imagination of the supposed hack writers and mischief makers. I wish to place on record that the Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has been on annual vacation, he has not granted any interview and he has not authorized anybody to speak for him to either online or any traditional news medium.”
According to him “‘I’m able to speak for myself, I have not authorized anybody to speak for me and I have not granted any press interviews. The statement credited to me is fake.'”
“In view of this, I wish to admonish discerning members of the public to be wary of mischief makers, especially at this time.”
