The former deputy governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has promised to work with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to reclaim the state from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) come September 21 governorship election.

He made the promise when he officially decamped to the APC in the state.

In his words, “it is time to take back the state and their actions will speak for the party.

“On behalf of the Legacy Group, I announce our movement to the APC. We have come to add value to the party.

“It is time to take back our state. We will not talk too much because action will speak for us. We are not afraid. We are ready to move forward.

“We, the homeboys, are ready to take our state back through the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.

“We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our body, and we move on,” Shaibu said.
