Obaseki vs Shaibu: Edo 2024 and PDP
Governor Godwin Obaseki and Shaibu, both chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo, are at loggerheads over the authentic governorship candidate of PDP in the state.
Obaseki backed a Lagos-based lawyer, Asue Ighodalo, who emerged as the party's standard bearer of the governorship indirect primary election at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.
Shaibu emerged as a factional candidate at a parallel primary at his official residence on Commercial Avenue in Benin.
Oshiomhole raise on Shaibu's impeachment plot
On Tuesday, March 5, Oshiomhole raised the alarm about the plot to impeach the deputy governor.
He addressed allegation that Obaseki reached out to him to help talk to All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers to support the move.
The former national chairman of the APC clarified that there was no agreement between his camp and the deputy governor, adding that all his focus was on the 2024 governorship election in the state.
Oshiomhole raised the alarm in a tweet:
