The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has described Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, as his father.
Shaibu noted that his relationship with Oshiomhole was very cordial even though they belong to different political parties.
Speaking on Channels TV Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Shaibu said he would find time to apologise to Oshiomhole for the improper words he used against him in the last governorship election in the state.
According to Shaibu, “My relationship with Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is cordial. When I mean cordial, he is still my father. Political, we are in different political parties.
“I am happy that the governor (Obaseki) has started inviting the former governor (Oshiomhole) and my father to political functions. That is what I have been praying for.
“And now that he has started, I think that the next step is for me to reach him and also first apologise to him (Oshiomhole) for some use of words during the election but in terms of principle of supporting Obaseki, I will still support Obaseki because God told me that is the right thing to do.”
