The Edo State Assembly has decisively removed Philip Shaibu from his role as Deputy Governor. The Assembly’s bold action not only reverberates across the corridors of power but also marks a pivotal moment in the annals of the state’s political history.
The impeachment, a culmination of a rigorous investigative process, followed the damning revelations of the Justice Stephen Omonua (Rtd)-led panel. Appointed by Chief Judge Justice Daniel Okungbowa, the seven-member panel found Shaibu culpable of breaching trust—a cardinal sin in the realm of governance—by disclosing confidential information.
As the dust settles on this political storm, questions loom large about the implications for Edo State’s future and the balance of power within its leadership. Our team is on the ground, piecing together the fallout of this seismic event, and will continue to provide comprehensive coverage as the story unfolds.
