The embattled Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shuaibu, has been schemed out of Government House in the heart of Benin City, with Gov Godwin Obaseki now housing him in an unbefitting roadside structure in Benin.
Gov Obaseki relocated the office of his estranged deputy Shaibu outside the Government House Complex, Benin as their relationship takes a turn for the worse.
Shaibu, who was physically stopped by Obaseki’s security aides from exchanging greetings with the governor at a church service last Sunday, will now operate from a building formerly used by the State Public Procurement Office in Benin.
The building is located at 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, a short distance from the deputy governor’s former office in the Government House.
It was undergoing renovation yesterday with a signpost newly erected put at the gate to further ridicule him.
The signpost carries the inscription “Office of the Deputy Governor, NO 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, GRA, Benin City.”
The building was commissioned on December 16, 2014 by the then Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Contacted yesterday by phone on the development, Communication and Orientation Commissioner, Chris Nehikhare, said: “If there is Edo State government’s signboard at the entrance, stating that the new building is now the office of the deputy governor of the state, then it must be so.”((agency)/SHARE THIS
