POSTED ON November 27, 2023 •   POLITICS      BY Segun Adewole

Making a bold and unequivocal announcement on Monday, Edo State's Deputy Governor, Philip Shuaibu, officially declared his intention to run for governor in the upcoming 2024 election. The seasoned politician, representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asserted his unyielding determination, stating emphatically that no one can thwart his ambitious pursuit.

Shuaibu made this declaration at the Bishop Kelly Centre in Benin, underscoring his deep-rooted connection to the state as a homegrown leader who intimately understands the challenges faced by the people. In his impassioned address, he called on the electorate and party members to rally behind his vision, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between his aspirations and the collective welfare of Edo State.

With a political career spanning three decades and a noteworthy seven-year partnership with Governor Godwin Obaseki in the monumental task of state rebuilding, Shuaibu contends that he is uniquely positioned to ascend to the governorship. His declaration echoes the confidence derived from years of service and collaboration in steering the state towards progress.

In a resolute proclamation, Shuaibu asserted, "Nobody can stop my ambition," signaling a clear intent to overcome any potential opposition to his gubernatorial aspirations. As the political landscape in Edo State gains momentum in anticipation of the 2024 election, Shuaibu's announcement injects a potent dose of enthusiasm and anticipation into the unfolding narrative of the state's political future.
