Impeached, Disgraced, and Rejected: APC Etsako West Protests Philip Shaibu’s Alleged Defection.

In what appears to be a tumultuous turn of events, former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, finds himself in the eye of the storm. Impeached in less than 24 hours, the aftermath of his removal has sparked protests among members of the APC in Etsako West, his primary constituency, who vehemently oppose his rumored defection to the party.

Amidst a sea of protesters wielding placards and banners, the sentiment is clear: Philip Shaibu is unwelcome in the APC fold. With cries asserting his purported lack of electoral value and calls for him to remain within the ranks of the PDP, it’s evident that Shaibu’s political homecoming is met with fierce resistance from his own people.

Indeed, the adage rings true: “When the milk is spilled, what’s the use of crying?” Philip Shaibu now grapples with the harsh reality that power is transient. Once a key figure in the political landscape, his journey from deputy governor to impeachment reflects the volatile nature of politics.
