Commenting on rumor of concluding arrangements to dump the PDP for an undisclosed party while featuring as a guest on a Channels Television programme, Shaibu said he still remains loyal to Obaseki.
He said;“I am happy with my governor; I don’t have any problem with my governor.So, the issue of not being happy with my governor is not there. I remain absolutely loyal to my governor.”
The Deputy Governor who did not categorically state whether he would leave the PDP or not, admitted there were some issues within the ruling party in the state.
Shaibu said; “There are issues we need to resolve over PDP.”

He said “I have a mixed feeling with this action. First, one struggled to form a party and after forming that party, those that benefitted from the party took over the party and became tyrants. It is not always easy that after one helped to form and nurture a party, one individual would say he is an Adolf Hitler in the system and becomes undemocratic. That was what happened in the APC. Some of us believe in people. We believe that people must lead at all times. Because of that, we cannot afford to abandon this state for people like that. That is why we decided to abandon them in APC and join the PDP today”
