Edo State Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, on Monday, at the Biohop Kelly Centre, Benin City, declared his intention to run for the 2024 governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Shaibu said as a homeboy of the state who had felt the pains of the people, he is poised to develop the state, adding that he is unstoppable in the forthcoming 2024 election.
He said he had worked with Governor Godwin Obaseki in the last seven years to lay the foundation for the development of Edo state while calling on the people to support him in actualising his ambition of becoming the state’s next governor.
The deputy governor was billed to declare his governorship bid at the Eterno Hotel, but the hotel cancelled the event at the last minute, saying Governor Obaseki had a programme for the venue simultaneously.
Obaseki and Shaibu had fallen out over the governorship bid.
