Obaseki accepts Shaibu’s apology, says to err is human, to forgive divine


… says dep gov’s unwarranted provocation caused him severe personal discomfort

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has accepted the public apology made by his deputy, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu, noting that as a person of faith, he was under obligation to accept the apology.

In a letter titled, “Re: Public Apology By The Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu,” the governor said in good faith, he trusts that the public apology as expressed by Shaibu is genuine and followed by contrite steps to improve his conflict resolution skills.

The letter reads: “I have noted the public apology made by the Deputy Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu. This apology followed an aberrant behaviour that contradicts what the people of Edo State stand for.

“To name a few, the Deputy Governor needlessly filed unfounded petitions in the Nigerian courts restraining me, the State House of Assembly and Security agencies from a non-existent impeachment process, followed by repeated breaches of protocol; unwarranted and unprovoked attacks in the media on my person and the State Government. The media frenzy as a result of the above and more, provided an impression of crises that has been precarious and distasteful to Edo people in the State and across the world.

“Although these unwarranted provocations caused me severe personal discomfort, as a person of faith, I am under obligation to accept this apology because as they say, “to err is human, to forgive is divine.”

Obaseki further noted, “In good faith, I trust that the public apology as expressed by the Deputy Governor is genuine and followed by contrite steps to improve his conflict resolution skills. I also enjoin the Deputy Governor to guide his proxies to act in accordance with his piety.”

He added, “It is my sincere hope and that of my other colleagues in government and all well-meaning Edo people, that these rhetorics will be put to an end forthwith to enable this administration finish strong and deliver the dividends of democracy to the greatest number of Edo people over this final twelve (12) months.”

Nice one

You are indeed a kind hearted governor your excellency.Your maturity is highly admired sir.

Philip Shaibu fought godfatherism with Obaseki against Oshiomhole, only to chicken out in his fight to establish the rights of a deputy Governor to aspire for any further political office without the need of approval by the Governor.

What a shame to both Shaibu and Obaseki.

Now we can rest for few days

Throwback:

Shuaibu's turn was used by Oshiomole. Simple, it is the turn of Edo Central (Esan/Ishan). If you like argue with your god.

They both deserve each other and Edo no be Lagos remains true.

@emboldened.

Yeah, this is Lagos; a small state that ain't up to the size of any LGA in Edo state that can't maintain its roads, as tiny as it is.

You wanna go low, right? I will go lower.
