Shaibu clarified that he doesn’t see Obaseki as an enemy but is pleased that the election result proves Obaseki cannot win without help. He said the outgoing governor has always relied on others to secure victories in previous elections.

The Deputy Governor also mocked Obaseki for not only losing the election but also failing to secure victory for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in his own local government area. Shaibu advised Obaseki to start seeking forgiveness from the people of Edo State.

“I feel vindicated; even the governor couldn’t win his local government. I won my unit, ward, and local government. Where are the governor’s results? He has never won; we always assisted him. What is left now is for him to go back and start begging and apologizing to the people of Edo State, and he has a lot of them that he needs to go and apologize to,” Shaibu said.
