Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu on Monday disclosed that he is being beaten.<\/p>\n

Shaibu disclosed this while insisting that he\u2019s not fighting with the state Governor, Godwin Obaseki.<\/p>\n

Speaking on TVC programme \u2018Journalists Hangout\u2019, Shaibu vowed never to fight back.<\/p>\n

Recall that Shaibu was entangled in a messy fight with Obaseki that led to him being locked out of his office.<\/p>\n

After he was locked out of his office, Shaibu publicly apologized to Obaseki.<\/p>\n

But there are claims that Obaseki is still not happy with his deputy.<\/p>\n

Amid the resentment, Shaibu had declared his intention to run for governor in 2024.<\/p>\n

He expressed hope that Obaseki and Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole will support him.<\/p>\n

According to Shaibu: \u201cAdams Oshiomhole will support me because Edo people want their own, and I\u2019m there own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure Obaseki will support me and my name and party, PDP will be on the ballot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not fighting, I\u2019m being beaten. I booked a hotel and paid, but a senior government official threatened to demolish the place. This is because I\u2019m the candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to fight because when I get the ticket, I need all of them to work, the state need a unifier.\u201d<\/p>\n
