The deputy governor of Edo State, Phillip Shaibu on Monday formally declared his intention to contest for the governorship position of the state in the race coming up next year.
Shaibu has been in a political conflict with his principal, Godwin Obaseki, as the two men fell out over what many believed was Shaibu’s plan to contest the governorship race, which Obaseki is not in support of.
Shaibu after months of speculation, made the declaration on Monday morning in a televised announcement after he was denied the use of a hotel he had earlier booked for the declaration.
