Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, Defects to APC
Reports are emerging that the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This development comes as a surprise to many in the political sphere, as Shaibu has been a prominent member of the PDP and a close ally of Governor Godwin Obaseki.
A post in the official instagram handle of the deputy Governor reads;
It is a triumphant homecoming for me, as I officially return to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party where I am accepted, valued, and welcomed with open arms. The party holds a special place in my heart, and where I have shared countless memories.
I am grateful to be back among the people and community that have always supported me, and to reunite with my political family.
