The reinstated Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, has formally rejoined the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The deputy governor was accompanied by prominent members of the Dan Orbih-led PDP Legacy Group as he made his return.
Shaibu walked straight to where former Governor and former Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, was seated at the venue and knelt before him, drawing applause from party supporters.
He 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.”
