The Edo State Lead representative, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has acknowledged the general acknowledgment made by his delegate, Companion Philip Shaibu, taking note of that as an individual of confidence, he was under commitment to acknowledge the expression of remorse.

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, 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.

“It is my genuine expectation and that of my different partners in government and all good natured Edo individuals, that these talking points will be put to an end forthwith to empower this organization end on a positive note and convey the profits of a vote based system to the best number of Edo individuals over this last twelve a year.

The PROPOLITICS reports Shaibu had looked for absolution from Obaseki for any unexpected errors he might have committed while satisfying his obligations.
