The newly-sworn-in deputy governor of Edo State, Omobayo Godwins said the long-running political rift between his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki and his deposed deputy, Philip Shaibu, is not his business.Recall that Godwins was sworn in following the impeachment of Shaibu by the Edo state house of assembly.
Shaibu and Obaseki have been at loggerheads over issues regarding the governorship election in the state. Godwins said, “That is politics for you. Your job, first of all, is to be loyal. Even though Fashola said, ‘may your loyalty not be tested’. I don’t know what had happened in the past; that is not my business. I’m just happy for this opportunity.”
