Ex-Students Leaders Buy Edo Guber Form For Philip Shaibu, Give Him 80% Chance

Former leaders of the Association of former NANS Leaders and stakeholders have purchased the expression of interest form for one of their former leaders, Comrade Philip Shaibu.

The purchase of the form took place at an event held at the Wadata House National Headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja on Thursday. 

Patrick Afubere, Godwin Maliga, and others who led the group stated that Shaibu’s track record as the Deputy Governor of Edo State for the past seven years motivated them to contribute their modest amount to support his aspiration to contest the PDP gubernatorial primaries in Edo State.

The group emphasized that Shaibu’s leadership qualities make him the ideal candidate for governor and expressed their belief that Edo State would benefit greatly from his governorship. They praised Shaibu as the most active and best-performing Deputy Governor in Nigeria, giving him an 80% chance of securing the PDP gubernatorial ticket in the party’s February primaries.

The group further highlighted the fact that since the return to democracy in Edo State in 1999, the PDP has never given her governorship ticket to any Edo North candidates and emphasized the importance of giving the ticket to Shaibu, as they believe he has the strongest chance of winning the upcoming governorship election in the state.
