Philip Shaibu, the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State has threatened to expose the wrongdoings of his boss, Governor Godwin Obaseki, if his surrogates continue to harass and insult him.

Shaibu, who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), made this statement while addressing reporters after attending Sunday Mass at the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area.

Shaibu revealed that he had tolerated Obaseki’s actions for over 15 months, but the governor’s recent conduct had crossed the line.

He claimed that the governor had mistaken his silence for weakness and threatened to reveal several misdeeds committed by the governor.

The deputy governor emphasized the need for accountability in governance, urging religious leaders to refrain from bestowing unearned divine titles, such as “God’s Servant Governor,” on politicians.

Shaibu criticized Obaseki’s leadership, accusing him of actions that contradict the principles of servant leadership.

These alleged actions include fighting the church, revoking Certificates of Occupancy from poor citizens, demolishing homes of opposition politicians, and other acts Shaibu described as injustices.

Shaibu also called on the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to avoid political influence and stand against the perpetuation of injustice.

He urged the Christian community to act as a beacon of hope for every citizen and ensure that their faith remains untainted by political affiliations.
