The Lagos State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Philip Aivoji, has urged Shaibu to be patient with the party, saying he could still become governor of the state.
Speaking on the issues in an interview with NAN, Aivoji said that Shaibu should remain in the PDP, saying he could still become the governor of the state with perseverance and patience.
He said: “What we are concerned about is winning Edo back for PDP. The impeached deputy governor needs to be patient and hand over everything to God.
“Whatever happens, no one ever can tell, he (Shaibu) can still become the governor in future. He should not leave the party. That is my advice because it is the party that brought him up. When he became the deputy governor, millions of people could have become the deputy governor before the party picked him.
“Since this has happened, he should look for a way of mending fences to actualise his dream of becoming the governor. He can still become the governor.”
On whether or not the impeachment of Shaibu would affect the fortune of the party in the September 21 governorship election, Aivoji said he didn’t think so, saying: “If it would affect, they (the lawmakers) would not have taken that decision.”
Aivoji called on the Edo chapter of PDP to work harder and block all necessary loopholes to win the election.
