Reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu,<\/a> has declared that he has returned to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Shaibu said he opted to return to the APC following attempts to destroy him due to his governorship ambition.<\/p>\n

He said God kept him alive amid a face-off with Governor Godwin Obaseki.<\/p>\n

He spoke over the weekend at the Afemai World Congress in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America.<\/p>\n

He assured of his support for the APC governorship candidate in the state, Monday Okpebholo.<\/p>\n

The reinstated deputy governor asserted that Okpebholo would make a better governor than Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, being backed by Obaseki.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cElections are coming and I would like you to be interested. You see that I have moved from the PDP back to the APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI moved to the PDP because of the governor (Obaseki) and I am back in the APC because of the governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to become the governor and they said they would destroy me if I continued to nurse that ambition. They have done everything but God has kept me alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was impeached but I knew I would come to this programme as the deputy governor. I have been reinstated and my impeachment was part of intimidation and harassment, which I have gone through. We must begin to look for ways to salvage our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
