When starting this piece, I can’t help but echo the words of Apostle Suleiman: “His Excellency Philip Shaibu is a bad boy,” and I’m grinning just thinking about it!

In the fierce arena of the Edo gubernatorial race, there’s no question who reigns supreme in the realm of ‘vawulence’—Comrade Philip Shaibu is the king! As the Director of APC New Media, I’ve been closely tracking the campaign, and Shaibu’s commanding presence is simply unmissable. His confidence and unique style make it clear: he is the undisputed monarch of vawulence, especially when it comes to his fiery exchanges with the PDP and Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The news of Shaibu’s reinstatement as the Deputy Governor of Edo State is well known—let’s put that chapter behind us. What truly captivates attention, however, is the way he arrives in style. His official ride isn’t just any vehicle; it’s a bold declaration of vawulence! Adorning one side is the proud Nigerian flag, while the other showcases the APC flag, boldly proclaiming, “We run this town.”
