Edo Deputy Governor Begs Obaseki For Forgiveness
The Deputy Governor of The Edo State, Philip Shaibu has pleaded with Governor Godwin Obaseki to forgive his indiscretions in the leadership crisis that has polarised the state government.
Shaibu held a press conference where he pleaded that the governor forgive and forget the past so the state can move forward.
The deputy governor who was evacuated to another office far from the governor clarified his new office space when asked if he had resumed work.
“We have resumed but there is still a lot of work to be done there.
“There is no problem about it. The governor has asked us to go there. Like I have always tried to prove, I am a loyal servant and nothing has changed,” Shaibu explained.

He added, “I took a personal vow to support my governor and you can see my Catholic people are here. When I took a vow with God, nothing can change it and I wish that the relationship that we had will come back in the next few days and weeks.
“I am missing my governor and by the grace of God, He will touch the governor’s heart and touch all of us and even those that are between us.
“I mean well. If there is any mistake I have made as a human, it is not out of wickedness because I know I’m not wicked. I have a very clean heart.
“I want to use this medium to appeal to Mr Governor that if there is anything I don’t know that I have done, please forgive me so that we can develop our state together.
“My Governor, I’m sorry and I need us to work together,” he pleaded.
