The court-reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
MUK TV reports that this comes a day after the Edo Deputy Governor declared on a live television programme that his spirit has left the PDP.
Shaibu, accompanied by prominent members of the Dan Orbih-led Legacy Group of the PDP, made the announcement during the inauguration of the APC Campaign Council in Benin City.
He stated, “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 homebody 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 body and we move on.”
During the event, Shaibu publicly knelt before his estranged political mentor, Sen. Adams Oshiomhole, an action that drew applause from the audience.
