The wife of Edo State Deputy Governor Mrs. Maryann Shaibu has alleged that her life is being threatned by the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole.
Mrs Shaibu wrote a petition to the commissioner of police through her legal counsel Idemudia Ilueminosen stating that Oshiomhole threatened to deal with her while on a campaign to tour to Jattu, Etsako West local Government on September 6.

The deputy Governor’s wife also alleged that Oshiomhole said he has sent thugs to monitor her movements while she was present in the Etsako area.
“This is moreso that the lives of our client and her family (by this threat) are at stake and the situation may degenerate into a full blown crisis if nothing urgent is done.” The petition stated.
Reacting to the accusation, Oshiomhole’s media aide, Victor Oshioke called the Deputy Governor’s wife a baby mosquito.
“The former governor was focused on marketing the governorship candiate of the APC to the people and cannot, under any circumstances, be distracted by the buzzing of baby mosquitoes Mrs Shaibu.” Oshioke said.
This petition is nothing but a futile attempt to divert the attention of Nigerians from the trending video of Maryann Shaibu threatening to flog women old enough to be her mother if they dare exercise their fundamental human rights to attend any event other than the one she organises.”
