Reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has rubbed salt into the injury of his principal, Godwin Obaseki by describing him as an unpopular candidate that he and others assisted to win.
He disclosed that the outcome of the just concluded governorship election in the state justified his claims as the governor could not even win his Local Government.
Shaibu who spoke on Monday during a program on Arise TV, called on the governor to apologize to the people of the state, particularly those he kicked out of his government after helping him to win.

Shaibu said “I thank God for it. I am water and I don’t have an enemy. Those who unfortunately decided that I am their enemy, I have always prayed for them to live long and see how God’s miracles continue to work in my life.
“I am a team player and somebody that likes to do my work the way it is and if I make a mistake, it is a human mistake and not out of envy or wickedness.
“Yesterday, I was so excited and I am happy that I’m counted among the numbers that helped the APC to regain the seat.
“I have also been able to cancel that negative impression that Shaibu does not win his ward. It is a lie because I have never lost my ward or unit. The highest votes came from my unit.

“Even the governor could not win his Local Government. I won, I won my unit, which is number one now, and I won my ward and LG which is also number one. I took first from unit to LG.
“Where are the governor’s results? He has never won, we only assist him but unfortunately, he got the power and started kicking us out.
“It is very unfortunate and I hope he learns his lessons. What is less for him now is to go back and apologize to the people of Edo State and there are a lot of them that he needs to apologize to”.
