Mary-Ann Shaibu, wife of Philip Shaibu, takes cue from husband as she spits fire, threatening to flog any woman, she sees associating with a group, which is suspected to be an affiliate of the main opposition party, APC, in Edo.
In her words, which she uttered in raw pidgin, she requested for the picture of every woman in attendance of the meeting she was adressing to be captured, where she then vowed that any woman who was present, and is latter found identifying with another group would be flogged by the cane.
The sense of urgency and bit of desperation in the tone of Mary-Ann, who have been making frantic moves to boost the chances of the temporary ruling party, PDP, in Edo North, through series of meeting with women at different parts of the region, is no doubt as a result of fact, that the wife of the deputy governor, is becoming disturbed that alot of women are beginning to play to the gallery, where they present themselves for meeting summoned by her, but after that, switch to meetings that tallies with their ideologies for the betterment of the region and the state at large.
