Despite his famous standoff with Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, over his gubernatorial ambition, kinsmen and constituents of Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, have endorsed him to run for the 2024 governorship election.
The messy face-off between Obaseki and Shaibu got to a head when the deputy governor asked a court to stop an alleged plot by the governor to remove him from office when he made his intention to run for governor known.
The crack between the two men further manifested when Shaibu approached a Federal High Court in Abuja and alleged that the governor and the state House of Assembly were plotting to impeach him with the court granting him an interim restraining order pending the proper determination of his application.
