A head the governorship election, the
Catholic Men Organisation has endorsed the All Progressives Congress
(APC) candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, and his running mate, Hon. Philip
Shaibu.
The body, which described the two
candidates as worthy ambassador in their chosen careers, explained that
it has started mobilising it people across the 18 local government areas
to support Obaseki and Shaibu.

Auchi by the Catholic Diocese of Auchi, the body said as a recipient of
the prestigious catholic men ambassador award, Shaibu is assured of
their supports during poll.
Its president, Mr. Chris Ighodalo, said
the decision to support the APC candidate was due to its constitutional
provision to support any of its members seeking elective position and
the performance of Shaibu when he was a member of the Edo State House of
Assembly.
Ighodalo said: “ I am not a politician
but We all have seen what Philip Shaibu did in terms of constituency
projects while in the State House of Assembly and we know how Edo was
before Oshiomhole came in, and see what he has done within the last
seven years. So, we will support what he supports.”Responding, the Deputy Governorship candidate said he was born into the
Catholic family and as a dedicated and practicing Catholic whose wife’s
brother is a Reverend father while his own younger brother will be
ordained a Reverend father in October.
