Two former governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party, Philip Shaibu and Omoregbe Ogbeide-Ihama, have collapsed their structures for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
Track News Online reports that the development is coming, ahead of the September 21 governorship election in Edo state.
Recall that Shaibu, the impeached Deputy Governor of the state and Ogbeide-Ihama had contested for the PDP ticket but lost to Asue Ighodalo, the Governor Godwin Obaseki’s preferred candidate.

Disclosing this to the public today, the Director of the APC New Media Campaign Committee, Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah, confirmed the donations, stating that the the gifts would have a greater impact on the political landscape.
He said: “Shaibu and Ogbeide-Ihama’s support for the APC is likely to galvanize other PDP members to reconsider their positions, potentially leading to increased support for our party.
“As the PDP grapples with these significant contributions to the APC, we are solidifying our position and building unprecedented momentum.”
