In a related development, the special adviser to the Edo state governor on media and communication strategy, Mr Crusoe Osagie has denied media reports that there was a clash between Governor Obaseki and his deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu.
In a statement sent to journalists on Saturday, August 1 Osagie said the falsehood could only have emanated from the camp of the APC.
The governor's spokesman accused the APC of having no substance in their campaign, adding that the opposition party is “only adept at spinning the rumour mill and concocting alternative facts to massage the egos of their paymasters.”
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, Shaibu dismissed the allegation that he is on a warpath with his boss.
He said the report was an effort by those who are afraid of the unity that exists between him and Obaseki to mislead people.
This was contained in a statement released by the senior special assistant to the deputy governor, Benjamin Atu.
