Shaibu emphasised that the election outcome proves that Obaseki can’t win on his own, highlighting that the governor’s previous victories were a result of the support from those around him.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Deputy Governor also mocked Obaseki for not only losing the governorship race but also failing to secure his local government area for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Shaibu advised Obaseki to begin apologizing to the people of Edo State, saying, “I feel vindicated; even the governor couldn’t win his local government. I won my unit, ward, and local government.
