Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, says he has accepted the public apology tendered by his deputy, Philip Shaibu.<\/p>\n

Obaseki however disclosed that Shaibu\u2019s unwarranted provocation caused him severe personal discomfort.<\/p>\n

The governor explained that he was under obligation to accept Shaibu\u2019s apology due to his faith.<\/p>\n

Shaibu\u2019s ambition to succeed Obaseki in 2024 led to a fallout with the governor.<\/p>\n

The rift resulted in Obaseki relocating the deputy governor\u2019s office out of the Government House.<\/p>\n

In addition, Obaseki disbanded Shaibu\u2019s media crew and also removed him as the supervisory head of the revenue generation agencies in the state.<\/p>\n

But, the deputy governor had begged his principal for forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Obaseki accepted Shaibu\u2019s apology in a letter titled \u2018Re: Public Apology by Shaibu\u2019.<\/p>\n

Parts of the letter read: \u201cI have noted the public apology made by the deputy governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu. This apology followed an aberrant behaviour that contradicts what the people of Edo State stand for.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo name a few, the deputy governor needlessly filed unfounded petitions in the Nigerian courts restraining me, the State House of Assembly and Security agencies from a non-existent impeachment process, followed by repeated breaches of protocol; unwarranted and unprovoked attacks in the media on my person and the State Government.<\/p>\n

He said though these unwarranted provocations caused him severe personal discomfort, \u201cbut, as a person of faith, I am under obligation to accept this apology because as they say, to err is human, to forgive is divine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn good faith, I trust that the public apology as expressed by the Deputy Governor is genuine and followed by contrite steps to improve his conflict resolution skills. I also enjoin the Deputy Governor to guide his proxies to act in accordance with his piety.\u201d<\/p>\n
