Shaibu, who stated this yesterday in Benin City, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, is a product of godfatherism, a lexicon he said has been eradicated from the political history of the state.
The former deputy governor, while recalling that he and his estranged boss, Governor Godwin Obaseki had stopped former governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, move to enthrone godfatherism in the state, however added that he has learnt new political strategies from Obaseki.
According to him, “I am a very good learner and learning is what is most important in our lives, We must continue to learn till we die, the governor of Edo State. Mr Godwin Obaseki says everybody has the right to support whoever he wants to support but he also forgot that he doesn’t have the right to stop anybody from supporting whoever he wants to support so it is my right to also decide who I want to support.
