My Loyalty to the Governor remains absolute – Edo deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu

Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, emphasized that he remains steadfastly devoted to Governor Godwin Obaseki, his superior, even amidst their disagreements. During the 32nd anniversary celebration of Edo State at the New Festival Hall in the Government House, Benin City, on Sunday, August 27, Shaibu clarified that his allegiance is independent of any personal aspirations he may have.

“My loyalty to the governor remains absolute. I see that everybody is in solidarity. I am also in solidarity with the governor. I am also declaring my unalloyed loyalty to the governor and nothing more, he said

“As for the issues that are around town when I was away, I really would not want to talk about them, especially about the governor. He is my elder brother and boss and I don’t think I should talk about anything.

“And if I have issues with him, I think it is better settled at home and not in the media. I am well brought up.

“I can tell you that from my Christian background if you make a vow with God that you want to do something, you must fulfill it. And the vow I have taken with God is that I will continue to support Godwin Obaseki as the governor of Edo State from the beginning to the end.

“But that does not stop anything that has to do with ambition. Ambition is personal and it does not affect loyalty. “
