Once loyal partners, now political enemies – the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, find themselves on a collision course as the 2024 Governorship election approaches. This election has become the focal point where the political ambitions of both individuals clash, potentially straining their personal and political relationships.

Philip Shaibu, at one point, initiated legal action against Governor Obaseki but subsequently withdrew the lawsuit. He has even relocated his office away from the state secretariat, signaling a growing rift within the government. As the days pass, the unfolding political dynamics in Edo State will provide a clearer picture of the emerging power struggles among key players in the state’s political landscape.
