In a pre-recorded speech aired across television stations, today, Philip Shaibu, who has been the deputy governor of the state since 2016, said he would run for the office of the number one in the state on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

During his speech, Shaibu said: ā€œAfter all the consultation we have made, we needed to now make the answer to our consultation known to our people. And the answer is clear: they have asked me to runā€ .

After his official declaration, Shaibu launched his campaign office in Benin City, the state capital, at an event crowded with party supporters.

The 53-year-old politician said he has put his life on the line for the development and growth of the state and he was determined to make the South-South state great again.
