During the rally, he declared his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Shaibu was welcomed back to the APC by the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.

The reinstated Deputy Governor also used the defection rally to reunite with his political godfather, a former Edo State Governor and APC National Chairman, Senator Adams Oshiomhole.
