At last, the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has quit the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and returned to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the November governorship poll.
Shaibu, speaking in Benin City, the state capital, said he was happy to be back in the APC with some prominent members of the Dan Orbih-led “Legacy Group” of the PDP to add value to the party.
Shaibu, who got to the venue at about 2:05 p.m., went straight to pay homage to a former governor of the state, Sen. Adams Oshiomhole.
He said they were ready to take the state back with the APC governorship candidate, Sen. Monday Okpebholo.
“On behalf of the Legacy Group, I announce our movement to the APC. We have come to add value to the party.
“It is time to take back our state. We will not talk too much because action will speak for us. We are not afraid. We are ready to move forward.
“We, the homeboys, are ready to take our state back through the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.
“We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our bodies, and we move on,” Shaibu told the gathering.
