The Office of the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has dispelled claims that he is making plans to invade the Government House on Monday, September 30, 2024 in a bid to enforce two different court judgements, ordering his reinstatement.
Comrade Musa Ebomhiana, his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), in a statement on Sunday dispelling the claim said: “We want to put it clearly here that, unlike Governor Godwin Obaseki, Philip Shaibu is a peace loving man, who firmly believes in the rule of law and would not want to shed innocent blood for whatever reason.
“As it is today, in eyes of the law and in the eyes of the good people of Edo State, indeed, Nigerians, Philip Shaibu is the de jure and de facto Deputy Governor of Edo State. We need not fight or struggle for that which God has given us.
“Obaseki and his co-travellers should accept the fact that the good people of Edo State have spoken, and his godson, Asuen Ighodalo, has been roundly rejected at the polls.”
Going further, Comrade Ebomhiana submitted: “Sadly, this reality is yet to dawn on them. Crusoe Osagie, the purveyor of the fake news is well known as an alarmist and propagandist who thrives on rumors and beer parlour gossips, with little or no respect for the ethics of our cherished profession, journalism. So, he has to be ignored.”
