Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, has won the parallel governorship primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
The parallel governorship primary was held at his residence in Benin City, the state capital.
Bartholomew Moses, the returning officer, who announced Shaibu as the winner of the primary election, said the deputy governor won the exercise with over 300 votes.
Some party delegates who arrived at the lawn tennis court of the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin City, were reportedly denied access.
The delegates subsequently moved to Shaibu’s residence where the election was held.
