All I have to say is "No permanent friends and No permanent enemies in Nigeria Polithiefs.

Philip should try and survive this moment.
After this tenure, He should humble himself by rebuilding all the bridges he had burnt for Obaseki.
He has a great reputation in Edo, I believe he can win and become Governor in 2028.
He had made mistake by standing against the Governor. The executives are very powerful in Nigeria.

Edo just lost their chance to have the first 'un-ugly' Governor, they should have impeached the Governor instead lol

So pe oti lo

Them go get this man

Obaseki bad ooooo

Politics of bitterness

Imagine when our state government now have police

Philip's gone. He obviously lost control of his over ambitious character...

They re trying to dent his image. He should act smart and tender his resignation letter

I come de pity Shaibu

The hunter becoming the hunted

As at two weeks Faye the current president of Senegal was in prison. Today he's the president. You're only making Shaibu more popular and stronger. At the end

Lol.
As long as he is not an incumbent shaibu can not win.
His political career is dead.
The dude did not use wisdom at all.
He should have left pdp long time ago and use the platform of another party

It's alright

if only he can see me. i will give him what will prevent his impeachment

We the of the National Association of Oredo Youth Movement want the deputy governor to be impeached asap!!!

This is very sad for Philip Shuibu. He should humble himself and apologize to Governor Obaseki. He is still very young with prospect. If this impeachment is ed, his political career is gone in Edo State.

When it was good between Obaseki and Phillip I ired them.

I saw trust, loyalty, friendship and reliance.

But then only the supreme master that can decern the heart of men.

LESSON TO ALL POLITICIANS. NEVER TRUST A STRANGER AND FIGHT YOUR BROTHER. STRANGER WILL GO BUT BROTHERHOOD REMAIN.

Market don fall press this one

His pride and ego is what has brought him down, he worked against oshiomole because of obaseki, he should have learnt from the way obaseki treated others, but he was too blinded by arrogance

Edo no be Lagos.

I'm sure he said that at one point.

Shuaibu ti lo.

Oshiomole right now will be laughing out loud.
