Sh*cking Revelation! Shaibu Exposes The Smart Tactic Okpebholo Used That They Missed

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, Shaibu commended Okpebholo for successfully securing Federal Government support for Edo State, a step he admitted was missing during their administration.

He highlighted that this strategic partnership would alleviate the state’s financial strain, enabling more resources to be directed toward developmental projects.

Shaibu remarked, “The clever thing the governor (Okpebholo) has done, which I commend him for and which we didn’t manage to do, is his ability to approach the center and seek support.”

“The support coming from the center will free up the state’s resources for other developments. This is what he is doing cleverly, and I believe it will help him achieve rapid development.”

Reflecting on the previous administration, Shaibu acknowledged that while Obaseki’s government had good intentions, political influences ultimately hindered their efforts.

“Every government, even ours, was clear in its desire to do good things, but along the way, politics and interests interfered,” he explained.

Drawing from his experience in government, Shaibu urged the people of Edo to support and pray for Okpebholo, stressing that the governor’s success is vital for the state’s progress.

“That is why I consistently, without hesitation, ask people to support Okpebholo and, most importantly, pray for him, so that negative forces that could derail progress will not affect his leadership,” he added.

Shaibu, who once worked alongside Obaseki, parted ways with him ahead of the September 21 governorship election. Shaibu later returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC), while Okpebholo, the APC candidate, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
