Ahead of the September 22nd governorship election in Edo State, the deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, is confident of clinching the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket.

Shaibu and his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki, have been at loggerheads over the former’s ambition to succeed the latter whose second term tenure is winding down.

Already, the PDP has fixed February 3rd for the conduct of its primary election where a flagbearer will emerge for the general election.

Despite their differences, Shaibu, during a monitored programme, said Obaseki will support him.
