Shaibu Suffers Blow As PDP Leaders From Edo North Endorse Ighodalo by Josepholome: 6:37pm On Jan 08
The bid of the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu, suffered a major setback today as the PDP leadership in his own senatorial district – Edo North – came together at the residence of Chief Oghiadomhe to endorse the candidacy of Barr. Asue Ighodalo.

In a grainy video clip, Sen. Yisa Baimoh was seen leading the motion to adopt Barr. Ighodalo. The question, when put to the leaders and party executives from the 6 local government areas by Hon. Johnson Abolagba, was unanimously adopted. Hon. Abolagba then advised Edo Central PDP party members to follow the lead of Edo North and similarly present Barr. Asue Ighodalo as their consensus candidate ahead of the Party primaries on the 3rd of February.

A selection of PDP leaders in attendance at the endorsement were the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Blessing Agbebaku; former Edo State Deputy Governor and Chief of Staff to President Jonathan, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe; Sen. Yisa Braimoh; Sen. Odion Ugbesia and his twin brother Akhere; Mr. Ose Anenih; the Vice Chairman of Esan South East LGA, Mrs. Susan Opekpen; former Esan North East LGA Chairman Ogbejele Idogei; Barr. Anthony Ehilebo; Hon. Honesty Agnibatse; and former Edo State PDP Youth Leader Arc. Targius Irabor;

This endorsement effectively pulls the rug from under the feet of Philip Shaibu, who now finds himself without a political base within the PDP. His angry outburst at the palace of the Otaru of Auchi later that day, suggests he too is very aware of the precarious political position he finds himself in. He accused Obaseki of diminishing the office of the deputy governor; and charged the people he was speaking to, to support him because it was his turn; according to the Deputy Governor, failing to support him would keep Edo North out of power for at least two decades. It is worth noting that while the current Governor of Edo State is from Edo South; his predecessor, Gov. Adams Oshiomole, was from the same local government in Edo North that Comrade Shaibu hails from.

As momentum continues to build behind Barr. Asue Ighodalo ahead of the PDP party primaries in February, questions arise about the role of Chief Dan Orbih, who was noticeably absent from political engagements which took place in his senatorial district today. Seen last night in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in the company of Ogbeide Ihama where he attended a social event organized by Gov. Wike; Chief Orbih’s feud with Gov. Obaseki remains unresolved. Will Chief Orbih align with Barr. Ighodalo and help the PDP retain power? Or will he play a spoiler role that will help the APC secure victory in Edo State; just like Gov. Wike did during the 2023 General Elections?

Meanwhile, Barr Asue Ighodalo is set to officially declare on the 12th of January in Benin.

We'll never be free of tribal and religious politics, and as long as we keep using tribe and religion to choose leaders, we will only be extremely lucky to ever get a good one.

I disagree.
Every tribe has her own good leaders, it is incumbent on us to fish them out.
The Esans have not ruled that State since 1983, don't they deserve to now or is Asue incompetent?

ABC101FF:
Since 1983 you say?
Osunbor was sacked by the Courts.
In the eyes of the law, he never was a Governor.

Gbamsolutely.

Competence, capacity, integrity, accountability should be what we look out for not ethnicity, region and religion.

This is not about Tribe but EQUITY. sad

Binis have ruled Twice with Lucky Igbinedion and Obaseki.
They also ruled with Samuel Ogbemudia and Odigie Oyegun. smiley

It's only Fair for Esan to demand that they Rule, too. smiley

The Election is between PDP and the Candidate, LP presents.

Imasuagbon has a better shot, if not for the fact that labor is gradually losing its grips

At what point did he outshine his master? Don't you realize that these are people with ambitions?

Think about it for a sec. He's not supposed aim higher because he helped his principal defeat his godfather?

I'm sure those that attacked you are not from Edo State and is not aware of what is happening there. Any Edo State indigene knows that Shuaibu was just out to embarrass himself. After this tenure he is going to be seen as a gold digger that he is and these activities can damage his political life if he is not careful.

True. Edos are one people, but for Equity sake, such leadership roles should be rotated amongst the senatorial zones.

Apart from Prof Osunbor who served for a few months following the 2007 elections, the last governor from the zone served in 1983 in person of Prof Ambrose Alli whose legacies are acknowledged up till this day.

Labour Party is not losing his Grip.

Just that with APC's Bullying Tactics against Abba Yusuf of Kano
And Sim Fubara of Rivers State, embarassed

Edo Pple cannot put the State into the Hands of Labour Party! sad

They need a Firm Hands like Obaseki to Control things and Tackle any Mischief from the Demonic APC party. undecided

See how Delta State is firmly under PDP, all thanks of Ex Gov Ifeanyi Okowa! cool smiley

This is not an issue of betray. The Esans deserves to rule too. Adams was from same place and local government as the current deputy gov. The State doesn't belong to only Edo South and North alone. It belongs to all the three senatorial zones
