Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has rejected the decision of some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders in Edo North to endorse a former Sterling Bank chairman, Asue Ighodalo, as their preferred PDP governorship candidate.
The meeting was held on Monday at the residence of a former deputy governor of the state, Mike Oghiadomhe, and had in attendance many party stakeholders.
The PDP heavyweights endorsed Ighodalo, who is reportedly being backed by Governor Godwin Obaseki, as the favoured aspirant to get the PDP ticket ahead of the September governorship election.
Speaking to his supporters in his country home, Jattu, Etsako West Local Government, shortly after the Auchi Day Annual Celebration on Tuesday, Shaibu said he considered the meeting as a slight on his office as Deputy Governor.
