The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lampooned impeached Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu following his announcement of his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP said Shaibu through his move to the APC has shown that he is not interested in good governance and ethical conducts.
The party in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba said Shaibu has shown his true colours by returning to a party he regarded as “insensitive and anti-people”.
The statement reads in part: “With his return to the APC, Comrade Shaibu has irredeemably sunk deeper into the abyss of rejection; having at last shown his true colours as belonging to the corrupt, malevolent and oppressive political platform that relishes in violence, subverting the Will of the people and inflicting pains on Nigerians.
“By confessing that his heart has always been in, and returning to the rejected APC, which is imperilled by an unqualified candidate; Comrade Shaibu only validates the widespread opinion that he was not in the governorship race to serve the interest and wellbeing of the people of Edo State.
“Nigerians now know why Comrade Shaibu had no tangible campaign manifesto, programme or plan for Edo State but only engaged in actions and utterances aimed to derail the PDP governorship nomination processes and frustrate the Will of the majority of the people of Edo State.
“Our Party has only but pity for Comrade Shaibu for apparently being used and dumped and now on a journey to nowhere as he is currently facing a stiff rejection in the APC where he has been reportedly described as “a complete political liability and highly cancerous politician that must be avoided to prevent him from infesting our party (APC) with his ill-fated inordinate, desperate and obnoxious ambition”.
The PDP further charged the people of Edo State to remain focused on their overwhelming support for the PDP and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo in the September 21, 2024 governorship election in the State.
