NIGERIAN TRIBUNE

The reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philips Shaibu, revealed that my spirit has left PDP for a long time.

During an appearance on Arise TV’s morning show on Friday, July 19th, 2024, he considered himself an unofficial member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Although he remains an official member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he indicated that his allegiance has shifted.

Responding to the questions regarding his support for the APC governorship candidate in Edo. Shaibu clarified that in his heart, he had already left the PDP.

“In PDP now, everybody can support whoever they like. On the issue of supporting a candidate, the constitution guarantees that you can support who you like and you can belong to any political party,” Shaibu stated.He elaborated, “As of now, I’m a PDP man, and I will not support anybody while I am in another party contrary to who I am supporting. For now, I am a member of PDP, but going forward, I am as good as being a member of APC; I can tell you that.”

When challenged about his apparent dual allegiance, Shaibu responded, “No, both legs are in APC. The only thing keeping me in PDP is that I have not officially declared.

In essence, I am actually a member of APC, just not officially. My spirit has left PDP for a long time; only my physical presence remains because I still hold my PDP membership card and haven’t yet obtained an APC card. But in spirit, I am now with APC.”
