Former National Chairman of the All Progresssives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, says Deputy Governor of Edo State, Phillip Shaibu, will come on his kneels, crawling and begging him after his principal, incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, would have lost the Governorship Race on September 19, 2020.
Oshiomhole made this statement, Friday, during his campaign exercise for Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu, candidate of the APC in the Governorship Election.
Shaibu had earlier lambasted Oshiomhole, saying, “as a son of Oshiomhole, I am ashamed of my father’s recent actions which I attributed to old age”.
Shaibu had also promised to take the former Edo governor for medical checkup after his Candidate has lost the election.
But in a statement, Oshiomhole through his media aide, Victor Oshioke, said no responsible child will insult his father in public like Shaibu has been doing.
“Phillip Shaibu is suffering from arrested mental development. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole took him off the streets as a frustrated boy without appreciable abilities, upgraded him to a status of an adopted son, gave him opportunities beyond his educational and mental capacities”.
“Perhaps, the only thing Oshiomhole failed to do was add some megabytes of sense in Philip’s slow brain, and the consequences are what we all witness today. Because of his low mentality, this is how best the hobbledehoy knws to pay back his benefactor”.
“Old age is a privilege granted to those who God have found worthy of His grace. Interestingly, a healthy old age with sound mind and body like the one being enjoyed by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole cannot be gifted by God to insolent ingrates like Philip Shaibu. He should, in his quiet moment, pray that he attains Adams Oshiomhole’s age, let alone with a sound mind anybody”.
“An intelligent young man with a sound mind and good sense of judgement will never insult someone who once called him son and gave him opportunities that his biological father could not give him”.
“I know that after September 19, 2020, when Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu would have defeated Godwin Obaseki in the governorship election, Philip Shaibu will come crawling and begging Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for forgiveness. Until then, let’s watch him run his mouth beyond the capabilities of his brain”.
