We Will Not Allow Shaibu To Return To Our Party, He Has No Electoral Value

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Etsako West Chapter in Delta State have protested the alleged planned return of the impeached deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, to the party.

Speaking via a communique on behalf of the APC stakeholders in Etsako West LGA, Yakubu Musa stated Shaibu’s exit from the party had brought peace and tranquillity, adding that his return would lead to rancour and disunity.

Musa said, “We are protesting over an attempt by the impeached deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, to jump the boat and defect to the APC.

“The attempt is viewed seriously by members of APC as a calculated plan by Shaibu to bring rancour, disharmony, and unprecedented crisis into APC.”

Musa urged the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, Senator Adams Oshiomhole and the State Acting Chairman, Jaret Tenebe, not to allow the impeached deputy governor into APC, saying that Shaibu has no political value to add to the APC.

He added, “It is on record that Philip Shaibu has not won any election since he left APC for the PDP. He does not possess any electoral value that could warrant his readmittance into our great party.

“We call on our national leaders to hear our voice and help us keep the peace we currently enjoy in Edo APC.

“Any attempt to readmit Shaibu into APC is a direct invitation to crisis, fragmentation, disaffection, disenchantment, and disintegration”
