Comrade Musa Sunday Ebomhiana, the Chief Press Secretary(CPS) to Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu, the ex-deputy governor of Edo State, has today dumped the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) and embraced the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a letter of resignation he forwarded to the Chairman of the PDP in Ward 5 of Etsako Central Local Government Area, Ebomhiana said: “I’m home sick. I want to go back home, the All Progressives Congress(APC), where I truly belong as a progressive democrat.”
According to Ebomhiana, “recall that as a loyal and ‘obedient servant’, I had to escort my boss, Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu to the PDP in 2020. Politically, I have realised that the sojourn was leading me to no where. So, I’m left with no option than to retrace my steps.
“In all, I must say that my sojourn in PDP was not totally a wasted one, because a lot of political lessons have been learnt, especially the behaviorals of the average Nigerian politician.
“For me, I owe a lot of gratitude to Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu, immediate past Deputy Governor of our dear Edo State. He remains my boss and my admirer. Of course, the one we fondly call Comrade, Distinguished Senator Adams Oshiomhole, my political mentor and godfather who literarily dragged me into partisan politics.”
Political analysts are saying that the return of Comrade Ebomhiana to the APC is just one of the expected hundreds of thousands of defections of Shaibu’s friends and loyalists from the PDP to the APC ahead of his own formal switch over in a couple of weeks from now.
