‘I Will Fight So That Governors Will Respect Their Deputies’ – Shaibu
“What other deputy governors cannot fight against, I will fight on their behalf so that governors will start respecting that office.” On his victory in the court, he said,“I challenged God, and I told Him that I want him to prove His power in my life, that people that are anti-God and anti-democracy are at it again, and they want to use me as a scapegoat, I told God to show to the world that I am truly his son. “By the grace of God, democracy has come to stay, and we that fought for democracy will protect it; anti-democratic forces must be flushed out, and we will succeed.” Shaibu also urged the youths in the state not to allow themselves to be used but should vote in the election to remove “anti-democratic people”. “They said they will impeach me, and I will go to court and that by the time judgment will come, the tenure will have been over, I now challenged God to prove to them that they have touched His anointed and that the judgment will come faster, more than expected. Shaibu expressed dismay over the treatment of deputy governors by some state governors, highlighting the systemic disdain despite both offices running on the same electoral ticket. He emphasized the need for the National Assembly to enact laws that would safeguard the office of deputy governors, ensuring they are treated with the respect and consideration they deserve. He said,“My fight to be reinstated is for all the people occupying the office in the country.
