Why I Refused To Return Govt Vehicles – Ex-Edo Deputy Governor, Shaibu
The ousted ex-Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu. recently discussed his impeachment, the political landscape of the state, the influence of godfathers, and the controversial matter of campaign vehicles allocated during his tenure.
Shaibu acknowledged having the vehicles but introduced a fresh perspective on why he might not relinquish them, characterizing those requesting their return as lacking compassion.
He said, “The vehicles they are referring to are the two Prado SUVs used by Lucky Imasuen as the deputy governor. The other Hilux was the one (Dr Pius) Odubu’s wife used, and the Land Cruiser was the one Odubu used.
“I took all those vehicles to the mechanic who changed their engine and refurbished them. Those are the vehicles that they are telling me to return.
“So, you can see how heartless men can be. I got only one new vehicle in almost eight years that I served as the deputy governor of the state.”
