Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has secured victory in the factional Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election held in the state.
He triumphed with a substantial lead, amassing over 301 votes in the parallel primary election.
The emergence of a faction led by Deputy Governor Shaibu raises questions about the unity and cohesion within the Edo State PDP.
As of now, the faction led by Governor Godwin Obaseki is yet to commence its own primary election.
Further details on this matter are expected to be revealed shortly.
