The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has pledged his loyalty to his principal, Godwin Obaseki despite the rift between them.

Shaibu said this on Sunday at the 32nd anniversary of Edo State, held at the New Festival Hall, Government House, Benin City, Edo State, where he described the governor as his elder brother.

However, he noted that loyalty has nothing to do with his ambition to become the next governor of Edo state.

Recall that Shaibu had gone to a Federal High Court in Abuja and obtained an injunction to stop the governor and state assembly from plots to impeach him, while Obaseki accused him of plotting a coup.
