Apparently disappointed by his former godfather’s lack of respect for Democratic tenets, deputy governor of Edo State, Hon Phillip Shaibu on Tuesday finally resigned from All Progressives Congress, APC, a party he toiled to build.
This is coming to fore a few hours after Governor Godwin Obaseki formally dumped the party.
In a statement issued on his behalf by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Benjamin Atu, the deputy Governor said:
“It is with great pain that I am leaving the All Progressive Congress (APC), I helped and labored to build as a result of the reckless and absolute lawlessness of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole –the suspended National Chairman of APC.
“His undemocratic and dictatorial tendencies exhibited at all times have become intolerable.
“The APC has been hijacked for some personal and selfish interests of an individual, comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
“The height of it all was his highhandedness and intolerant conduct at the APC screening exercise.
“I believe that the President of our great country will be very sad at this development but I am left with no other choice than to take my political destiny in my hands. Hence, my resignation from the party.
