Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the governorship election in Edo State, the state\u2019s deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu has vowed to defeat the anointed candidate of Governor Godwin Obaseki.<\/p>\n

Shaibu said he would defeat Obaseki\u2019s anointed candidate because he has the backing of the people of the state.<\/p>\n

He spoke while appearing on a TVC programme on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

According to Shaibu: \u201cDefinitely, I\u2019ll defeat the so-called candidate of the governor, not because I have the power, but because Edo people want their own and I am their own. Edo people do not want importation; they want their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem I have with the governor is that he has allowed certain individuals that have interest in governance to come between us.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is managing in his own style and the way he feels he can manage it. I am also managing it the way I feel I can manage it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I said I was pressed, but not distressed, I understand the kind of intimidation and oppression I have gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n
