The embattled impeached deputy governor of Edo State, Mr. Philip Shaibu, has announced that he has joined the All Progressive Congress, APC.
Shaibu made this declaration on Friday while fielding questions from the Arise News crew of Reuben Abati, Rufai Oseni and Ayo Menron.
According to Shaibu,
“I already have my two legs in the APC; it’s just that I have not officially declared”.
He made this assertion while defending his support for the APC gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Monday Okpebholo.
Shaibu had earlier told Abati that he was involved in anti-party activities supporting Okpebholo while in the PDP because he was following the “footsteps of his mentor, Governor Godwin Obaseki”, but within minutes, he changed his words to say he had joined the APC.
