Deputy Governor Edo Shuaibu defects to APC from PDP in shock move

Philip Shuaibu, the re-appointed Deputy Governor of Edo State, on Saturday, defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The move comes after Shaibu was reinstated as deputy governor by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The defection occurred during the inauguration of the Edo State APC National Working Committee at the Edo governorship election meeting.

This development follows Shuaibu’s allegation that his principal, Godwin Obaseki, refused him entry into the state.
