‘Please Forgive Me’ – Shaibu Begs Obaseki
The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, who has been facing political challenges, has openly requested forgiveness from his superior, Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Speaking to reporters in Benin City on Thursday, Shaibu extended his appeal, urging Governor Obaseki to pardon and move past their political disagreements.

“I use this medium to appeal to Mr Governor, if there is anything that I don’t know that I have done, please forgive me so that we can develop our state together,” he said.
“We have just one year to go. We have been the envy of the entire country. So Mr Governor, if there is anything you feel that I have done, please I am sorry. I need us to work together to finish well and strong.”
When asked if he had resumed at his new office, Shaibu said, “We have resumed but there is still a lot of work to be done there.
“There is no problem about it. The governor has asked us to go there. Like I have always tried to prove, I am a loyal servant and nothing has changed.
“I took a personal vow to support my governor and you can see my Catholic people are here. When I took a vow with God, nothing can change it and I wish that the relationship that we had will come back in the next few days and weeks.
“I am missing my governor and by the grace of God, He will touch the governor’s heart and touch all of us and even those that are between us.
“I mean well. If there is any mistake I have made as a human, it is not out of wickedness because I know I’m not wicked. I have a very clean heart.”
In recent times, Obaseki and Shaibu have been in a state of conflict, particularly concerning purported schemes to impeach the deputy governor.
The tension escalated last month when the governor accused his deputy of plotting against him, a charge Shaibu refuted.
Early in September, Shaibu was prevented from attending an event hosted by the state, where the governor and other high-ranking officials were in attendance.
Shortly thereafter, the deputy governor’s office was relocated to a facility separate from the Edo State Government House.
