The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, was informed by Senator Adams Oshiomhole, who is running for the Edo North Senatorial District in the All Progressives Congress (APC), that the APC does not have an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp to help troubled politicians.
The statement was made by Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State, in response to a claim made by the current governor, Godwin Obaseki, that Shaibu’s legal battle against him served as a catalyst for his switch to the APC.
According to OBASANJO NEWS24, Oshiomhole insisted that he wanted Edo to be managed in peace and unity and advised the deputy governor to show loyalty to and respect for his superior.
However, I want to clarify that the APC is not a rehabilitation facility in case someone wants to rush there. I won’t charge you to learn that.
“We in the APC are content with how things are right now; we enjoy being in opposition, and we’re not about to accept individuals who are coming because they missed out. I want to clarify that APC does not have an IDP camp.
“Therefore, my recommendation is that those who are experiencing difficulties learn how to respect their superiors. I always told them to be loyal to the people they worked with,” Oshiomhole was cited as adding.
Oshiomhole made his remark after Shaibu had gone to a Federal High Court in Abuja to ask for protection from Obaseki’s potential impeachment and removal from office.
To stop harassment, intimidation, or embarrassment and to enable him to do his obligations as the deputy governor, he asked for an interlocutory injunction.
There are rumours that Shaibu and his principal, Obaseki, have had a strained relationship lately.
