Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has gone spiritual in his aspiration to succeed incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki in 2024 on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) platform.
Addressing a end of year party he held in his residence for reporters serving in the state on Wednesday, Comrade Shaibu promised the media practitioners that the next cc of the annual event would be bigger and better organised “because next I will be hosting you as the governor of Edo State.
“The words of our mouth obviously are the words of God. I have never spoken the words and it comes back void because God has given the authority to speak the word and when I speak it it comes to pass. I am not just saying it for saying sake or for the sake of political reasons.
“I say it because that’s the word. That’s what God has said it should and God has always been faithful.”
Going further, he promised to have a more cordial relationship with the media when he becomes governor with a promise that he will initiate a housing scheme for journalists which will cater for them most especially when they retire from active service.
