The Victory Of Obaseki Couldn't Have Been Possible Without This Man. Do You Agree?

THIS IS MY HERO IN EDO STATE ELECTION

In anything you do in life, look for loyal men. When you are drowning they will stretch to save you. When the storms starts, they will cover you. When they are made offers to betray, their conscience wont allow them.

This man in the picture is Obaseki's deputy. Comrade Philip Shaibu. Before Ize Iyamu was approached to decamp from PDP to APC to run the APC ticket. The offer was first made to Shaibu. He would have been the man challenging Obaseki today if he accepted Oshiomole's offer. Shaibu said I cannot betray my boss Obaseki.

He said him and Oshiomole have suffered oppression in their struggle for democracy and he wont dish out oppression to another man. He remained with Obaseki despite the pressure. Few weeks ago. The press man interviewing him asked him. What if you lose the election? He said he will rather lose honourably than betray his boss. He said he wont the oppression of Obaseki.

This comrade is a force in Edo State politics. Oshiomole fears him in rural politics. He was instrumental to Oshiomole all through his campaigns and tenure. He has stayed with Obaseki and refused decamping. He was silent all through the heat of this election working dangerously underground. Their efforts were cemented with U.S and UK visa ban which weakened the planned usual federal might Oshiomole was banking on.

Comrade Shuaibu represents the man I will like to be to any politician I chose to . Loyal men are rare. If you find one like Shaibu, hold him dearly. Well done to Shaibu. Congratulations to him and Obaseki.

..I don't know how you want Godwin under the unbreller in the raining season to loose

Nawaoooo

As in em, I some much love this man.... If only I could be his boy to learn from him.... This man and the state speaker are the Pilar and backbone of obaseki no cap

Loyalty pays

Exactly

der re two demons in Edo state intense of politics once u Ve dem u Ve won any election

which is Philip shuaibu and kabiru jato

these two men re grass root politicians and oshomole knows DAT him sef

Rubbish insinuation.

While I commend Shuaibu for his loyalty, the truth is, he would have suffered a worse fate than Ize-Iyamu if he had allowed greed take over him. The flogging would have been worse.

Edo people voted and had their votes count. Why attribute the winning to one man whose LGA wasn't even in the reckoning?

The man tried
Iyamu is a fool. Instead of staying put in PDP he already have a strong hold and either cash out heavily from Obaseki or even contest under the party and possibly emerge the winner he decamped to APC banking on Oshio's Influence and federal sure forgetting that Anna Kyari was instrumental to all the Federal might that was witnessed in previous election. That man is not intelligent and unfit to hold any elective position. He is too unstable and lacks confidence as a man.

Real man

All hands were on deck to ensure d victory...so not just him alone

I love his loyalty. It is too much

And also the authentic Edo APC chairman as well as oshiomole ward chairman.

Fvck mehnnnnnnn

I ain't no fan of politics but you see this man right here

........
LOYALTY LASTS A LIFETIME

He's loyal

ize-AMU did not only decamp to APC. he also decamp from Christianity to Islam, from church to mosque.... he had always been a prodigal son.

I think oshiomole and tinubu knew they will lose when they didn't get federal backing.

For tinubu to come out publicly to say "do not vote for obaseki" is desperation that shows they lacked the backing from Buhari.

This is a lesson and a new political strategy, just because this chess game obaseki did to decamp to pdp at the last minutes worked for him does not mean it can work in other states but it is a political lesson.

Now obaseki will have to remove some disloyal in his government and replaced them with pdp.

As for oshiomole, his political career is finished, he couldnt deliver 2 states

As for tinubu, his relevance and influence is reducing.

Welcome the New Godfather Of Edo State politics Obaseki

the man that makes Obaseki win is Buhari.
he allows INEC to do their job without federal might interference

Everyone played a role.. he's just one man although his street OT is unrivalled because he was once an SUG President. He knows grassroot politics quite well and also understand loyalty. He will go very far in politics if things go well between him and Obaseki this second term. But that is not to say that APC's decisions and indecisions didn't contribute. So also is the presence of Wike and ultimately the "don't push me around" mentality of an average Bini man.

This 40sec video is the best summary.

ganduje went with presidential presidential jet can your PDP gov do that? isn't it a sign of federal might

Lol! You have no idea Sir,
You have no idea of what APC would have done in Edo North without his presence there
You have no idea how the votes from Edo North could have tipped the scale had this man not galvanize votes to reduce the margin, which was the main goal (he couldn't have won alone against stronger APC presence in Edo North)
Unlike Edo South and Central with political gladiators in PDP, he was standing alone in Edo North, defending the interest of his party and Edo people against heavyweights in Edo North APC (whom you should know).
This man is an enigma, the backbone of Obaseki's victory.
Check the results in Edo North, you would understand how he played the spoiler.

there are like 5 presidential jet, it doesnt mean anything

Buhari will rather cede 2023 to PDP who will field a northerner (Fulani) than to allow Tinubu take power.

I predicted this the moment Oshiomole was successfully ousted out as party chairman and Buhari did nothing but backed Gaidom.
I said that day either with this Monika or my friend's own that Oshiomole will never enjoy federal might because buhari has hand in his ousting.
wait how do you think those that wanted him out will grant him federal might which will help him win and probably restart his fading career?
all those during campaign are just fake and deceit to make him loose guard.
they wanted to finish him kpatakpata
though he's not the target their main target is Tinubu.
mark my word 2023 it's either buhari picks his preferred candidate from the south which is definitely not Tinubu or Osinbajo
or he'll allow Tinubu and his clique have their way and collapse c structure with pdp that will field a Fulani.

Let me tell you one thing about buhari
he doesn't care about APC as a party he only sees them as a useful Ediots and platform in which he came to power.
Buhari is a core pro Fulani expansionist and dominance that's why he's a god in the north.

Sure

Very true

While Obaseki is a gentle pacifist Democrat, Shaibu is a brutal Republican.
While Obaseki was shouting that his election is not worth the blood of anybody like Jonathan, Shaibu was planning on countering APC thug for thug, violence for violence like Buhari who said Baboon and Dogs will be soaked in blood.
Now APC will be planning to play Imo state in Edo using this guy, but Tanko knows that Shaibu is not Ihedioha

Yes in dis life get yourself a friend like philip shaibu... Ambode deputy was d first person to leave him... Philip will govern edo state
