Written by Olakunle Oke on November 28, 2023
Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu has officially declared his ambition to succeed his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki, as Governor of Edo State in the 2024 election.
The announcement comes after weeks of speculation about Shaibu’s plans.
Shaibu launched his campaign office in Benin City, the state capital, after the declaration.
Recall that last week, the deputy governor revealed that he will formally declare his intention to run for the 2024 Edo State governorship election this week.
