Addressing the ongoing crisis within the Youth Council during the celebration, Obaseki raised allegations against Deputy Governor Shaibu, asserting that his actions were covertly aimed at advancing his personal political aspirations through the youth council.
“I would like to extend my apologies for the regrettable incident that transpired during the youth council election. Regrettably, it took place without my prior knowledge. It’s evident that my deputy, unbeknownst to me, manipulated the election. This was driven by his political ambitions, as he believed that leveraging the council could be instrumental in attaining his political objectives,” Obaseki stated.
