Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo State, has been urged not to fight Phillip Shaibu by Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in order to prevent losing the state to opposition groups.
He acknowledged that the Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, would lose the upcoming election due to Obaseki’s altercation with his deputy.
In a statement, he made this claim, and Osho Oluwatosin, his media assistant, signed it.

Instead of airing his dirty laundry in front of the public, the prophet urged the governor to be more diplomatic in handling the problems between him and his deputy.
He said: ‘’Obaseki should stealth his sword, fighting his deputy will make him fail. He should be more diplomatic about this matter.
“I warned you that you and your deputy will fight three years ago and it will lead to your political weakness.
“Fighting him will make PDP lose, if there are issues, come together and sort it. Don’t wash your dirty linen outside. This fight will not give you victory, it will make you lose, stop fighting.’’
He urged both of them to find ways to settle their differences.

‘’The fight is going more spiritual and it may affect PDP chances in the coming election. The party can lose in Edo if this fight continues.
“Instead of you to put your house together and see how you will win election, you are fighting. Stop this fight. There’s more to do than the fight.
“It’s a small world, look at the beginning, don’t let it make you lose the state; don’t think your people love you. Those clapping for you will be the ones that will create problems for you,” he said.
