The deputy governor of Edo state, Philip Shuaibu has reacted to the outcome of the Saturday, September 21, governorship election in Edo State.
Shuaibu while speaking on Arise Television said he feels vindicated with the outcome of the polls which saw All Progressives Congress’ Monday, Okpebholo as the governor-elect of Edo state.
His words, “I feel vindicated and I thank God for it. I am water, I don’t have an enemy, unfortunately, those who decided that they are enemies, I have always prayed for them to live long and see how Go’s miracle continues to work in my life.
Describing himself as a team player, the deputy governor who has had a long-running battle with the incumbent governor of Edo, Godwin Obaseki said he likes to deliver on his responsibilities at all times.
He said, “I am a team player, I am somebody who likes to do my work the way it should be and if I make mistake, it is a human mistake not out of envy or wickedness.
Yesterday, I was so excited and happy that I was counted among the numbers that have helped APC take power in Edo state, I have also cancelled that blackmail and negative impression flying, that Philip Shuaibu does not win his ward.
“I have never lost my ward, I have never lost my unit,” Shuaibu said.
Also claiming to have garnered the highest vote from his unit, Shuaibu chided Obaseki for failing to clinch his local government area.
He said, “Even the governor couldn’t win his local government. I won my unit, ward and local government.
“Where are the governor’s results? He has never won; we always assisted him. What is left now is for him to go back and start begging and apologising to the people of Edo,” the deputy governor stated.
