The Deputy Governor of Edo state, Mr Philip Shaibu, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Shaibu announced his decision on Tuesday at a press briefing.
The development came hours after Governor Godwin Obaseki announced his exit from the APC.
There is every indication that he and his boss, Mr Godwin Obaseki may be heading to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His boss, Obaseki, had last Friday, been disqualified from participating in the APC coming governorship primary by the party’s governorship screening committee
