Philip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, has reacted to the media reports that he has concluded plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for a yet to be disclosed platform.
The Deputy Governor said there’s no truth in the report adding that he has no form of misunderstanding between him and Governor Godwin Obaseki, over matters concerning the running of the State.
According to the earlier report, Shaibu and some party bigwigs in the country held several meetings outside the country last week, where the arrangements were finalized.
But, the Chief Press Secretary of the Deputy Governor, Ebomhiana Musa, in a statement denied all the speculations.
Musa described the reports of the defection of his principal as complete falsehood and the figment of the authors’ imagination.
According to him, Shaibu travelled abroad on vacation to spend time with his family.
The State Publicity Secretary of PDP, Chris Nehikhare, denied any rift in the State chapter of the party, as well.
