- Pix above(l-r): Shaibu and his new office
SHARE THIS
The embattled Edo State Deputy Governor, Comrade Phillip Shaibu, has relocated his office out of the Government House after his principal, Gov Godwin Obaseki had relocated him to abandoned roadside structure in Benin.
The relocation is a culmination of long-drawn battle between him and Gov Obaseki resulting from attempts to succeed him (Obaseki) at the end of his tenure, which the governor vehemently resisted, as he (Shuaibu) was not his favourite choice.
It was gathered that a memo directing the relocation to the new address was issued last week by the Permanent Secretary, Head of Office to the Permanent Secretary, Deputy Governor’s Office, with accompanying reminder was issued over the weekend.
This is coming barely a week after Shaibu withdrew the anti-impeachment suit filed at the High Court Abuja filed against Governor Godwin Obaseki.
In a suit with reference number: FHC/ABJ/CS/1027/2023, the Deputy Governor was seeking to stop the Governor from making attempts to impeach him.
Shaibu, who has been at loggerheads with the Edo helmsman, in the statement described the Governor as his boss and senior brother.
Defendants in the suit were the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Department of State Services (DSS), Edo Governor and the Chief Judge of Edo State.(agency)/SHARE THIS
