Edo 2024: Shaibu Says He’s A 100% Home Boy, Will Win

Edo State deputy governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu has said that nothing can stop him from winning the 2024 Off-Cycle Governorship Election in the state.
Shaibu, who recently declared his intention to run for the governorship on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), has been having a running battle with Governor Godwin Obaseki over his ambition.
He said even though he has been pressed but not crushed, persecuted but not abandoned, badly hurt but not destroyed, he is resolute with the tireless and irrepressible spirit of the Edo people, and by the grace of God, nothing and no one can stop him because, ‘I be original Edo son… 100% home boy.”
He said the Obaseki administration has recorded success but there is still more to do for which, he is offering himself.
Said he: “I have fought the good fight for you my people, along the way, suffered humiliations and enjoyed many moments of victory but I am thankful in all things.
“As your deputy governor in the last seven years, I have had the privilege of working closely with our amiable governor, His Excellency Governor Godwin Obaseki, to lay a solid foundation for progress in Edo State.
“Under our administration, we have seen remarkable achievements and milestones, but there is still much work to be done”.
According to him, his government will be more inclusive.
“I am aware of the need by the greater Edo people for a more inclusive government, a government of the Edo people, by the Edo people, and for the Edo people. A government of individuals who have been there and know the pains and wishes of an average Edolite.
“A government, together, with the greater Edo people will reignite the Edo Spirit and transform our tomorrow!”
