We have had the opportunity to watch video clips of the Philip Shaibu led PDP campaign stops in Okpekpe Etsako East LGA, Apana and Iyuku in Etsako West LGA which took place yesterday November 20, 2022.
The poor attendance they recorded at all the venues is another clear indication that Edo North remains solidly APC and no lies or antics of the failed Obaseki/Shaibu government in Edo State will save PDP candidates from being defeated in the 2023 elections.

Sadly, Philip Shaibu perhaps angered and frustrated by the poor reception that met them everwhere, once again exposed himself as a demented ingrate whose only talent is how to use his tongue to lap up his own vomit whenever and wherever a microphone is handed over to him.
It is a disgrace that even after over 6 years in office as deputy governor of Edo State, he is still unable to imbibe a culture of decency in speech, demeanour and actions that is expected of his office. This explains why he threw away decorum and decided to use a courtesy visit to the palace of HRH Peter Osigbemeh, the Onwueweko of Okpekpe to continue his unprovoked, unwarranted verbal diarrhea directed at the person of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who without doubt is a hero in the entire North Ibie Kingdom. It is instructive that according to reports, the Onwueweko, in his wisdom admonished Philip Shaibu and informed him that as a traditional ruler, he does not belong to any political party and therefore can not take sides in any disagreement between politicians.

Since Philip has no shame in lying about what everyone knows the truth, we are surprised he did not continue his liturgy of falsehoods by telling Okpekpe people that he was the one who constructed the Afowa-Iyora-Apana-Okpekpe Road. Better still he could have upgraded his tales by moonlight with another lie that he is the one who initiated and approved the Edo State sponsorship of the IAAF 10 KM Okpekpe Road Race that has become the biggest annual tourist event in Edo State today. We are certain he couldn't dare do that because he knows very well that all sons and daughters of North Ibie Kingdon, old or young, home and abroad revere Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for opening their communities to the world through the construction of the roads and sponsorship of the race. They would have stoned him right there if he attempted to float such lies that directly concerns them.

It should be clear to everyone by now that Shaibu is maniacally obsessed with Oshiomhole and he seriously needs medical attention for this condition which has degenerated to mental illness. Some say that his state of mind is not unconnected with the fact that when he grew up and discovered the doubts about his parenthood, it was Oshiomhole that took him in and gave him the chance of a useful life that he enjoys today. That explains why he imitates to the minutest detail, everything Adams Oshiomhole does. It is common knowledge that Philip Shaibu cannot but dress to look like Oshiomhole, dances like Oshiomhole, eats what he knows Oshiomhole eats and drinks what Oshiomhole drinks. He has even attempted to mimic Oshiomhole in speech, but his poor command of English language usage and total lack of oratory abilities made him back off from further attempts. Without a touch of Oshiomhole, Philip Shaibu is inadequate and pathetic in his own estimation of himself. So, to some extent, his present utterances while unfortunate, do not surprise those who know him well because, they actually represent the frustration, emptiness and hopelessness that has engulfed him since he unwittingly tied himself to the apron string of his heartless, consciencless and unscrupulous master "Satan The Devil" The same man who he physically attacked in Government House Benin City a few years ago, because he couldn't stomach his suspicion that Godwin Obaseki was getting closer to Oshiomhole than himself. These are facts in the public domain.

We call on Mr. Philip Shaibu to answer the question posed to him since March 12 this year by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who publicly challenged him to tell the world who his father is. This question which is yet to be answered by Shaibu indicate that he really does not know the answer to it. So while the people of Edo State and the world await his answer, he should better utilise the opportunity of traversing the length and breadth of Etsako land to seek information on his true ancestry, instead of shielding his questionable parenthood under the guise of Oshiomhole being his father. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has since disowned Shaibu and asked him to go look for his real father. We all know Oshiomhole's children and he's no longer willing to accommodate a bastard among them.

Anyone who has listened to Philip Shaibu speak in the past two years cannot miss the fact that his life is empty without Oshiomhole. He has nothing to offer other than his illogical blabbering about Oshiomhole. Nobody needs to be told that Shaibu rode on the shoulders of Oshiomhole into the Edo House of Assembly in 2007. Before then he was unemployed and survived on handouts he received as an errand boy and briefcase carrier behind Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. We know that Philip Shaibu's debilitated brain cannot comprehend the fact that nobody except himself is interested in his explanations of what happened between him and Oshiomhole. This is campaign season and issues should drive the narrative. That is what will determine who Edo people vote for. Edo North people know Oshiomhole and his records speak for him. Philip Shaibu should let his own records speak for him too.
If he thinks that Edo North people are as dumb as he is to believe that it was he not Oshiomhole that sited the Edo State University in Iyamho, then let it be so. At the right time, Jattu people will ask him of what use was the Edo State deputy governorship position freely bestowed upon him by Oshiomhole was, if there is no enduring legacy to show for it.
Whereas officials of responsible governments across the country are using the campaign season to commission projects that they executed to highlight their stewardship, it is shameful and a matter for deep reflection that Philip Shaibu was in Apana to commission a classrooms block and Principal's office built and donated to the school by the Ezuduemoh's family. Incidentally , that school established in 1979 has only two government employed teachers. All other staff are paid through community efforts. This is a clear example of how Edo State has been brought to its knees by the duo of Godwin Obaseki and Philip Shaibu.

Finally we advice Philip Shaibu to leave Oshiomhole alone and if he can understand the deep meaning therein, take counsel from the words of the Roman Lyrical Poet Horace who wrote that "Virtue, dear friend, needs no defense.The surest guard is innocence: None knew, till guilt created fear what darts or poisoned arrows were"
