The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has officially returned to the All Progressives Congress APC from the Peoples Democratic PDP.
Shaibu who was reinstated as Deputy Governor of Edo state by court three days ago returned to the APC in Benin, the state capital, on Saturday alongside other prominent members of the PDP.
Speaking at the APC Campaign,, Shaibu said “On behalf of the Legacy Group, I announce our movement to the APC. We have come to add value to the party.
“It is time to take back our state. We will not talk too much because action will speak for us. We are not afraid. We are ready to move forward.
“We, the homeboys, are ready to take our state back through the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.
“We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our body, and we move on.”
The legacy group is led by Chief Dan Orbih a Chieftain of the PDP recently suspended by the PDP NWC for uncomplimentary remarks against Asue Ighodalo, the party’s flag bearer in the coming Gubernatorial election in the state.
