    Shaibu Alleges Betrayal By Obaseki, Denies Claims On Official Vehicles

    Court-reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo state, Hon. Philip Shaibu has explained how he sacrificed everything for the state Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki but that despite that, the latter still treated him as an outcast.

    Shaibu who visited the National Working Committee NWC of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC late Wednesday, disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Abuja.

    He also dismissed reports quoting the state government as asking him to return the 22 official vehicles in his care, saying all the vehicles in his convoy belong to him, except one Jeep the governor bought for him in the third year of their administration.

    Asked if he could ever forgive Obaseki, the deputy governor said; “You know human beings have different ways of behaving and the only perfect person is the Almighty God. Every other person who is created by God, none of us is perfect. But at the same time, God gave us a commandment like every other country’s constitution. One of the greatest commandments in the world is to love your neighbour as yourself. And if all of us can take to that commandment, there will be peace in the whole world. Because what you cannot do to yourself you will not want to do it to others.

    “I used to use the word perfect relationship. But I have just discovered that there is no perfect relationship with what has happened between the governor and I.

    “From my own end, I gave everything. I gave all to have him succeed because, for me, it is about the state and the state in everything. So, I gave all, up my earnings. Even to my official earnings. I forfeited lots of my official entitlements. Why? Because I didn’t want any trouble or disagreement. And the easiest way you can have disagreements could be money. Even my official entitlement, most of them I didn’t apply for. As small as 28 days, that is the first earning that you earn whether as a civil servant or in government, the first and second terms I didn’t have it. That is, anything that has to do with going to meet the governor, to apply for anything even personal entitlements or official entitlements, I didn’t. I confined myself to the official salary that came to me.

    “Recently, I saw an advert that I should return 22 vehicles. Only one vehicle in the seven and half years that the governor bought for my convoy. Only one. Every vehicle you see in my convoy, some of them, especially the land cruiser I used for three years with the Coat of Arms and flag as a staff car. The Prado that I used as a backup for three years was the Prado that I used as majority leader of Edo state House of Assembly. The Hilux that I was using in the state assembly and the one I bought when I came to the House of Representatives. It was the third year of his first term that the governor eventually bought a land cruiser jeep. And even when they were bringing the land cruiser jeep it had an accident on the way. We had to now change wheels and it took two weeks for us to fix it. A new car that they were bringing to me. It took two weeks for us to fix it. And you know the convoy of a deputy governor. I never made it an issue because for me, anything that will bring trouble I was able to manage it”.

    Noting that the task of returning APC to the Government House is one that involves all Edo people, Shaibu said Obaseki’s dictatorial grip on the state can no longer be tolerated.
