“I’m Young Enough to Become Governor in the Future” — Shaibu
Reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has stated that he has temporarily shelved his ambitions of becoming governor to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, in the upcoming September 21 governorship election in the state.
In a recent address at the Afemai World Congress in Detroit, Michigan, USA, Shaibu, who has been vocal about his political aspirations, criticized Governor Godwin Obaseki for allegedly thwarting his governorship ambitions. Despite this setback, Shaibu expressed optimism about his future prospects, highlighting his youth and the potential for future opportunities.
Shaibu’s Current Political Stance
In a video clip shared by the Afemai World Congress organizers, Shaibu detailed his shift in political allegiance, stating, “I have moved from the PDP back to the APC. I moved to the PDP because of the governor (Obaseki) and I am back in the APC because of the governor.” He emphasized that his decision to support Okpebholo stems from his belief that Okpebholo is a more suitable candidate for governor compared to the PDP’s Asue Ighodalo, who is endorsed by Obaseki.
Shaibu described the challenges he has faced, including his impeachment, which he claims was part of a broader effort to undermine his political aspirations. “I wanted to become the governor and they said they would destroy me if I continued to nurse that ambition,” he said. “They have done everything but God has kept me alive.”
Despite these challenges, Shaibu remains hopeful about his future in politics, asserting, “I am supporting the APC candidate because he is a breath of fresh air. He doesn’t speak too much English. He talks less and does more.” He continued, “If God says I will be governor, then I will be. I have left my ambition to God.”
Call for Diaspora Involvement
The acting Chairman of the Edo APC, Jarret Tenebe, echoed Shaibu’s call for increased diaspora involvement in Edo State’s political landscape. He urged members of the diaspora to take an active interest in the election, stating, “If you fail to be interested you will allow idiots to rule you.”
Tenebe underscored the significance of diaspora support in shaping the outcome of elections, asserting, “Today, it is impossible to win the election at home without the support of the diaspora.” He further encouraged diaspora members to engage with and support political initiatives aimed at improving governance in Edo State.
A Vision for the Future
Both Shaibu and Tenebe highlighted the critical role of the diaspora in influencing positive change and building a better future for Edo State. Shaibu’s emphasis on his future aspirations and Tenebe’s call to action reflect a broader push for proactive involvement in Nigeria’s political and developmental processes. As the governorship election approaches, the focus will be on how these dynamics unfold and impact the political landscape of Edo State.
As rising debt and financial strain affect households and small businesses across Texas, one Pearland-based law firm is stepping up to offer clarity and legal relief. Abii & Associates, a multi-practice legal firm located in Pearland, has become a trusted resource for residents considering bankruptcy as a path toward financial recovery.
With a steady increase in inquiries related to debt relief, attorneys at Abii & Associates report that many Texans remain unsure about their rights, protections, and legal options when facing overwhelming financial pressure. According to the firm, bankruptcy is often misunderstood—but in the right situations, it can offer powerful protection and a fresh start.
“People often delay seeking help because of fear or stigma,” one of the attorneys at Abii & Associates shared. “But the reality is that bankruptcy, when handled properly, is a legal tool designed to help—not punish—those who are financially distressed.”
The firm regularly handles both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings, providing clients with tailored guidance based on their unique financial picture. Under Chapter 7, qualified individuals may be able to discharge unsecured debts entirely, while Chapter 13 allows those with regular income to reorganize their payments and keep important assets like homes and vehicles.
One of the key advantages for local clients is that Texas law provides some of the most generous bankruptcy exemptions in the country, allowing individuals to retain more of their property than they might expect. Attorneys at Abii & Associates say many clients are surprised to learn they can file for bankruptcy and still protect their home, car, and retirement accounts.
“Every case is different, and that’s why personalized counsel is so important,” the firm explains. “We don’t offer one-size-fits-all advice. We sit down with our clients, evaluate their assets and goals, and walk them through every step of the process.”
In addition to consumer bankruptcy, the firm also advises small business owners dealing with insolvency, commercial debt, or pending lawsuits. Their goal, they say, is not only to offer legal solutions—but to preserve dignity and protect futures.
The bankruptcy team at Abii & Associates is currently accepting consultations for individuals, families, and businesses in Pearland and throughout the Houston metro area. The firm encourages anyone facing creditor harassment, foreclosure, or overwhelming debt to explore their legal options early—before the situation becomes harder to manage.
