What are his hopes now? Inherit Oshiomhole's senatorial seat someday, fight to become governor after eight years, return to the house of assembly, or get a fed appointment through Oshiomhole's influence?

Choosing to fight Oshiomhole openly was a huge mistake. A choleric like Oshiomhole will never trust him again. Philip is going to have to pave his own political path to the top alone onward.

INEC should just declare APC candidate winner as governor elect of edo state, just to avoid wasting of time and resources in that election. PDP, labour party and other political candidates already know that election is for APC candidate

crawl back into ur hole!

This is a significant move for APC as it strengthens their position in Edo. Unity is key, and with more credible voices ing, the party's future looks bright.

Shuaibu is a nonetity abd i know APC are banking on riggingnand federal might to win the Election. Edo electorates are solidly behind Obaseki and Ighodaro

It was obvious.

I thought Osho said there was no room to rehabilitate failed PDP politicians in APC.

Jeans601:


Go read about akeredolu and his dupty in his first tenure....he will remain a DG.
Stop taking side when Nigeria politicians fight.......they are all the same.

It all about selfish and personal interests

MrMcJay:


Did you say that when Peter Obi decamped to PDP?

Or have you forgotten that Shuaibu was in APC before he went to PDP?

Obi did not decamp to a ruling party. Obi left PDP when Atiku who earlier decamped to APC returned to PDP to continue with his unending search to become president of Nigeria; and was reading to buy PDP presidential ticket with his immense wealth.

John505050:
Obaseki is wicked

Edo no be Lagos!!!

Tochitee:
That yam head governor will be taught a bitter lesson. Na make you just leave the country after your tenure!

When Yahaya Bello still full ground remain make Obaseki come japa becos of one person after him tenure. Dem never born that person

Always off course

Sen. oshiomole is the man

Shuabi is an opportunist

Fortunately, some of us have been following politics for long and we were here when Peter Obi ran away from APGA to the ruling PDP to seek protection.

figment232:
Edo indegenes refuse to elect a known Agbero and dropout to rule them for the next 8yrs

Tell yarimo. It will be too sweet. Any candidate who will beat a bini man in edo go tie wrapper, even wear gele . Oshio baba's case was a unique one because they realy loved him. Lucky was openly stealing money to revive his father's moribund airline and other businesses, this angered binis and sent him packing. Binis constitute a large percentage of indigenes of edo people. Even some parts of edo north like uneme nekhua, irepa, okpela, afuze, agbede, etc are Benin extensions

Efuaye:

Oshiomhole is a smart guy. He needs all available tools to prosecute the forthcoming elections. That statement was simply to warn Philip at that time that APC governorship ticket was not available to anyone outside the party stakeholders.

Besides, receiving an influential opposition figure very close to an election helps weaken them (PDP) further. Oshiomhole might have delayed this move until now in order to achieve this goal.

Did you not read Ex-gov Peter Obi...?
Unfortunately, you are not worth engaging because you don't read to understand.

Hmmm

If you , when Saraki and co. decamped from APC to PDP, there was a flurry of defections back then. The final defection that made PDP cry was when Akpabio as Senator decamped to the APC.
As at then, he was one of the major financiers of PDP and a major Senator from the SS.
It was Osho baba who midwifed that defection. Till now, the PDP is still in severe pains.

AcuraZDX:


The same APC causing hunger ? Una no well

So nah all APC politician bah?? Some are actually doing well

Did Obi decamp to PDP, yes or no?
It seems you just started following politics last month and you lack political knowledge.

It’s the Edo State electorates that decide who they want and not a set of cronies and political leaders that never have any political value in Edo State. As it stands today, Dr Asue Ighodalo will win in landslide victories in September governorship election in Edo State. Philip Shaibu has been heavily deserted in Edo north senatorial district. People love Obaseki of Pdp in all the 3 senatorial district no be small.

These people are only fighting for their pockets and I really pity the that man who has placed his hope on a Nigerian politician.

Runaway:
Good for him. He can't be DG again...

A Deputy Gov can defect to another party but lawmakers cannot. Go and read.
