Ahead of the September 22 governorship election in Edo State, the deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, has spoken about his confidence of clinching the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket.
Despite their differences, Shaibu, on Thursday in a monitored television interview, said Obaseki will support him ahead of the PDP February 3 primary elections.
Shaibu also said his boss has denied supporting his main opposition at the primaries, Asue Ighodalo, adding that he understands the politics of the state.
“As somebody who is experienced, I have an edge over him. He is coming with private sector experience. I am coming with both private sector and public sector experience.”
He also claimed to have the structure of PDP in the state, arguing that his region, Edo North, delivered more than fifty percent of PDP votes in the February 25, 2023 presidential poll in the state.
