My Loyalty To Obaseki Remains Absolute – Shaibu

Governor Obaseki had recently accused his deputy of plotting a coup against him, further deepening the rift between the duo amid moves for Shaibu’s impeachment.

However,  Shaibu has downplayed the rift, declining to make public comments about Obaseki

“I can tell you that from my Christian background if you make a vow with God that you want to do something, you must fulfill it. And the vow I have taken with God is that I will continue to support Godwin Obaseki as the governor of Edo State from the beginning to the end.

“But that does not stop anything that has to do with ambition. Ambition is personal and it does not affect loyalty. My loyalty to the governor remains absolute. I see that everybody is doing solidarity. I am also in solidarity with the governor. I am also declaring my unalloyed solidarity and loyalty to the governor and nothing more.”

Sunday’s interdenominational church service took place at the Government House in the Edo State capital with Obaseki saying that the state has made giant strides since its creation.

Despite the ethnic and religious diversity of the state, Governor Obaseki is calling on residents to work collectively towards making the future better for Edo State.
