The deputy governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has abandoned the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
It would be recalled that the Federal High Court, Abuja, had, on Wednesday, reinstated Shaibu as the deputy governor of the state.
However, Shaibu, who returned to the APC in Benin, the state capital, on Saturday, with prominent members of the Dan Orbih-led Legacy Group of the PDP, said he was back to add value to the party.
The deputy governor said: “On behalf of the Legacy Group, I announce our movement to the APC. We have come to add value to the party.
“It is time to take back our state. We will not talk too much because action will speak for us. We are not afraid. Furthermore, we are ready to move forward.
“We, the homeboys, are ready to take our state back through the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.
“We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our body, and we move on.”
