The recently reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, stated on Friday that he is determined to stay in his position until the governorship election on November 11.
Despite Governor Godwin Obaseki’s refusal to pay him for the past year, Shaibu confirmed that he would resume his duties as deputy governor today following a ruling by the Abuja Federal High Court recognizing his position.
Shaibu made these comments during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
According to Shaibu: “I’m elected deputy governor of this state and the court has reaffirmed it. I will be deputy governor till November eleven, even when the governor has not paid. He has not paid for the last one year.
“I’m a law abiding citizen and I will go to the office this morning, if they want to stop me, they should.
“I will not do anything that would lead to the loss of life. I have been maintaining peace, the office of the deputy governor must be given it’s rightful respect.
“I will resume in the office and face my work, if he allows me to see him, I will and if not; I will face my work.”
