Shaibu was impeached on April 8 by the state House of Assembly due to a conflict with Governor Godwin Obaseki over his ambition to contest the governorship election.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to St. Paul Catholic Church journalists in Benin City, Shaibu explained his decision, stating, \u201cI cannot support the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo. He is a product of godfatherism, which has been eradicated in Edo State. Former Governor Comrade Adams Oshiomhole preached against it, and I joined Obaseki to fight against godfatherism during the 2020 election. I have also learned new political strategies from the governor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shaibu supported Okpebholo, citing his qualities as a \u201chomeboy\u201d essential for governing Edo State. \u201cI will support a homeboy. I entered the contest to be governor because I wanted governance to return to someone who understands our plight and the people&#8217;s feelings. We don\u2019t want an outsider. We have experimented with an outsider, and it is not working. This time, we want a homeboy. We have only two homeboys in the major political parties; one is in the Labour Party, and one is in the APC,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Shaibu criticized those who \u201cspeak English\u201d but lack practical understanding of the state&#8217;s needs. \u201cWe are talking about governance\u2014the man who understands the plight of the people. He wears the shoes and knows where it pinches,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Rev. Olu Martin, Deputy Director General of the PDP Governorship Campaign Council, expressed surprise at Shaibu\u2019s stance. He emphasized that the NANS group, which they are part of, focuses on debating issues, not sentiment or ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>Martin argued that Shaibu\u2019s \u201chomeboy\u201d argument is weak. \u201cBecause a candidate didn\u2019t grow up in Edo, it doesn\u2019t make him a stranger in his state. I thought Shaibu would tell us that the candidate he wants to support has the capacity, intelligence, knack for excellence, and smartness, which are the hallmarks of a great leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin further stated, \u201cThe honourable thing he should have done is to resign from the PDP like others and support the APC candidate. His argument is that of weak people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philip Shaibu announced support for APC&#8217;s Monday Okpebholo, rejecting PDP&#8217;s candidate as a
