(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Philip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, has denied claims of having a misunderstanding with his principal, the state Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

Shaibu disclosed this as he spoke on reports of a rift with Obaseki and plan to dump the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

It could be recalled that some unconfirmed media reports had stated that the deputy governor had concluded plans to defect from PDP to an undisclosed party.

The reports also stated that Shaibu allegedly took the decision after he conducted a series of consultative meetings.

However, the deputy governor, while appearing on Channels Television, dismissed the reports.

He said: “I am happy with my governor; I don’t have any problem with my governor.

“So, the issue of not being happy with my governor is not there. I remain absolutely loyal to my governor.”

He, however, admitted that there were some issues within the PDP in Edo State.

He said: “There are issues we need to resolve over PDP.”
