Philip Shaibu, the recently reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Shaibu revealed that his decision to rejoin the APC was driven by efforts to undermine him related to his ambition for the governorship position.

Addressing the Afemai World Congress in Detroit, Michigan, over the weekend, Shaibu reflected on the challenges he faced, including a significant rift with Governor Godwin Obaseki.

He credited divine intervention for his survival amid attempts to derail his political aspirations.

Shaibu expressed his commitment to supporting the APC’s gubernatorial candidate, Monday Okpebholo, asserting that Okpebholo would provide better leadership compared to Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who is backed by Obaseki.

He explained, “With the upcoming elections, it’s important to be engaged. I have transitioned from the PDP back to the APC.

My shift to the PDP was influenced by my conflict with the governor, and my return to the APC is also a reaction to that situation.”

Shaibu elaborated on his experiences, stating, “I aspired to become governor, but there were threats to destroy me if I pursued that goal.

Despite numerous obstacles and attempts to intimidate me, including my impeachment, I have managed to persevere.

My reinstatement as Deputy Governor is a testament to overcoming these challenges, and now, we must focus on finding solutions to improve our country.”

But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.

According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.

“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”

Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.

“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
