The former deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has reacted when asked if he is ready to rejoin the camp of former Governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole.
Adams Oshiomhole, a former President of the Nigerian Labour Congress served as Governor of Edo State for two consecutive terms. He is presently a federal lawmaker representing his senatorial district in the red chamber of the national assembly.
The Punch reported that Philip Shaibu, in an exclusive interview said he is ready to rejoin the camp of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Few weeks ago, Philip Shaibu was impeached as the deputy Governor of Edo State after he lost the Peoples Democratic Party Governorship primary election to Asue Igbodalo.
Philip Shaibu said; "I am ready. I have also consistently apologised to Comrade, and I am using this avenue to do so again over what happened in 2020, especially the language I used during that period"
The former deputy Governor added; "I look at some of the videos and the only thing I can do is apologise. However, I don’t regret the action I took because Oshiomhole is the one who led us to fight against godfathers. I felt what he was trying to do at that time was wrong"
He stated further; "Reuniting with him will be interesting. Even amid the fight, I have maintained that he is my father. I will reunite with him sooner or later. He is also my mentor. So, a lot of things that I do, I learnt from him"
