Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo, says he has accepted the public apology by his deputy, Philip Shaibu, but noted that \u201chis aberrant behaviour contradicts what the people of Edo stand for.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo name a few, the deputy governor needlessly filed unfounded petitions in the Nigerian courts restraining me, the State House of Assembly and Security agencies from a non-existent impeachment process<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was followed by repeated breaches of protocol; unwarranted and unprovoked attacks in the media on my person and the State Government.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe media frenzy as a result of the above and more, provided an impression of crises that has been precarious and distasteful to Edo people in the State and across the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s acceptance of Shaibu\u2019s public apology is contained in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Benin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Obaseki said that he had accepted the apology \u201cas a person of faith\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

He, however, added that, \u201cI trust that the public apology as expressed by Shaibu is genuine and followed by contrite steps to improve his conflict resolution skills.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough these unwarranted provocations caused me severe personal discomfort, as a person of faith, I am under obligation to accept this apology because as they say, \u201cto err is human, to forgive is divine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI also enjoin the deputy governor to guide his proxies to act in accordance with his piety.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is my sincere hope and that of my other colleagues in government and all well-meaning Edo people, that these rhetorics will be put to an end forthwith.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to enable this administration finish strong and deliver the dividends of democracy to the greatest number of Edo people over this final twelve (12) months,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n
