The national leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has mocked reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu for returning to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Daily Sun reported that Shaibu announced his defection on Saturday.
He was accompanied by prominent members of the Dan Orbih-led Legacy Group of the PDP as he made his return to APC.
In a Sunday statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said Shaibu returned to the “insensitive and anti-people” APC “after failing in the well-oiled plot to sabotage the will of the people of Edo State as embodied in the PDP candidacy of Dr. Asue Ighodalo”.

“With his return to the APC, Comrade Shaibu has irredeemably sunk deeper into the abyss of rejection; having at last shown his true colours as belonging to the corrupt, malevolent and oppressive political platform that relishes in violence, subverting the Will of the people and inflicting pains on Nigerians.
“By confessing that his heart has always been in, and returning to the rejected APC, which is imperiled by an unqualified candidate; Comrade Shaibu only validates the widespread opinion that he was not in the governorship race to serve the interest and wellbeing of the people of Edo State.
“Nigerians now know why Comrade Shaibu had no tangible campaign manifesto, programme or plan for Edo State but only engaged in actions and utterances aimed to derail the PDP governorship nomination processes and frustrate the Will of the majority of the people of Edo State.
“Our Party has only but pity for Comrade Shaibu for apparently being used and dumped and now on a journey to nowhere as he is currently facing a stiff rejection in the APC where he has been reportedly described as ‘a complete political liability and highly cancerous politician that must be avoided in order to prevent him from infesting our party (APC) with his ill-fated inordinate, desperate and obnoxious ambition’.”
