The Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has sought forgiveness from Governor Godwin Obaseki for any unintentional mistakes he may have committed while fulfilling his responsibilities.
Shaibu who made the plea while speaking to the media said the plea became necessary to ensure that the present administration finishes well in the state.
The deputy governor stated this while speaking after his investiture as the Grand Patron of the Catholic Men Organisation of Nigeria of the Catholic Archdioceses of Benin.
He said, “I have always said that I am a loyal servant and nothing has changed. I took a vow to support my governor and as you can see the Catholic people are here.
“Everything about me is that if I have a vow with God, there is nothing that can change it. I can only wish that the relationship that we have before, I prayed and know that in the next few weeks it will come back.
“I am missing my governor and I prayed that God will touch my governor’s and all our hearts, and even those that are try to be in between us, God would touch their hearts to know that I mean well.
“If there is any mistake I have made as human, it is just human and not act of wickedness because I am not wicked and I have a clean heart.
“I used this medium to appeal to Mr. governor that if there is any mistake I have made or if there anything that I have done that I don’t know of, he should please forgive me so that we can develop our state together,” said the deputy governor.
He added, “Mr. governor if there is anything you feel I have done please I am sorry, and I need us to work together to finish well and strong because that is my prayer for you,” he added.
Shaibu said he had obeyed the governor’s directive to relocate to his new office, adding that he would gladly carry out any responsibility given to him by his principal.
Shaibu expressed gratitude to the CMO for the honour, saying, “l live my life in God, everything about me is God. When you remember that the life you have does not belong to you, you have no reason not to serve God,”.
