Those destroying my campaign billboards should stop it – Shaibu

The Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has complained that his campaign billboards are being destroyed.

Shaibu  is aspiring to succeed the current Governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki.

But Shaibu who was speaking on Lagos Street on Monday after inspecting one of the dismantled billboards, Shaibu said his campaign billboards had been dismantled on two different occasions in the place.

“I am a man who plans ahead in whatever I want to do. I paid and secured all of the spots across the state, and signed an MoU with the owners and paid fully.

“This kind of ugly development is capable of scaring private investors from the state. This is why we have to be very careful as a government and individual in our actions.

“We are going to replace the billboard right now and we hope it will not be tampered with again.

“We have been patient enough; they must not provoke us. Our patience must not be taken for granted. Edo is a peaceful state. We must allow peace to prevail before, during and after the election,” he said.
