VIDEO: Drama At Bayelsa Governor Diri’s Second Term Inauguration As Obaseki Snubs His Deputy, Shaibu’s Handshake

At the second term inauguration of Douye Diri, the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State, an unexpected incident took center stage as Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State snubbed the handshake offered by his deputy, Shaibu.

This gesture is not isolated, as it marks another episode in the ongoing tension between the two heads of the Edo State Government, recurring over the past year.

The rift stems from the deputy’s gubernatorial ambition, which was thwarted by the emergence of Asue Ighodalo, the preferred choice of the outgoing state governor.

In the captured video, Shaibu is seen exchanging pleasantries with various individuals at the event.

However, when he reaches Governor Obaseki, the governor extends his hand but refrains from reciprocating the handshake.

Despite the awkward encounter, Shaibu maintains his composure and proceeds as if the incident did not occur
