The political bitter war between Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu took a dramatic turn on Monday, September 18th, 2023 as the Governor locked him out from his office.
Be that as it may, Shaibu has officially resumed work in his new office at 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue.
This is coming after he received an official letter to that effect from Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The letter with the title; “Relocation of Office Accommodation” reads; “I write to inform you that His Excellency, the Governor, has approved the relocation of your office accommodation to No 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, G.R.A., Benin City.”
“You are therefore requested to ensure your compliance in line with Mr Governor’s approval, please.”
For those who don’t know, we can tell you for free that the bitter war between the Governor and his deputy deepened after Shaibu instituted a suit in an Abuja Federal High Court, seeking the protection of the court from an alleged attempt by the governor to use the Edo State House of Assembly and others to impeach him.
Consequent upon the suit, the governor disbanded the media team of the deputy governor and relocated his office from the main Government House.
