The immediate past deputy governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu says God used former governor Godwin Obaseki to reunite him with his political father, Senator Adams Oshiomhole.
Shaibu said he joined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, due to his loyalty to Obaseki but reunited with Oshiomhole and the All Progressives Congress, APC, after their fallout. A face-off between Shaibu and Obaseki led to the impeachment of the former deputy governor by the Edo State House of Assembly. But, an Abuja Federal High Court had upturned the impeachment and reinstated Shaibu despite the face-off with Obaseki .
Speaking with Channels Television, Shaibu said: 'I was part of the young guys that formed APC, I started from ACD, AC, and APC. And because of my loyalty, I went with my governor to PDP not because I wanted to, when I said that I was scolded by the national body of PDP. 'Because of him, I left APC and I returned back to the party because of him. 'My excitement is that God used him for me to reunite with my father , it's because of Obaseki I had a quarrel with him.
