Political Storm Brewing in Edo State: Deputy Governor Faces Impeachment
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Edo State’s political drama continues to unfold, with the latest development being impeachment proceedings against Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu.

The state’s House of Assembly, led by the majority leader, Charity Aiguobarueghian, announced the initiation of the process on Wednesday. A petition signed by 21 of the 24 members, exceeding the required two-thirds majority, accuses Shaibu of perjury and revealing government secrets.

Speaker Blessing Agbebaku acknowledged the petition and directed the deputy governor to receive and respond to the notice within seven days.

This development follows a growing rift between Shaibu and Governor Godwin Obaseki, which began when Shaibu declared his intention to run for governor last year, directly challenging Obaseki.

Accusations Fly:

Shaibu isn’t entirely blameless in this chaos. His decision to hold a separate election and secure 300 votes, bypassing the official PDP primaries where Asue Ighodalo emerged victorious, hints at his thirst for power.

And Obaseki? Well, some say he’s equally power-hungry. Many suspect his hand in orchestrating this impeachment saga, adding fuel to the already blazing fire of their tumultuous relationship.

In the end, it’s a battle of egos, a clash of titans drunk on power, leaving the people of Edo State caught in the crossfire. Only time will tell how this political drama unfolds, but one thing’s for sure: the stakes have never been higher in the Edo State political arena.

Uncertain Future:

The coming days will be crucial, with Shaibu having the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations. The outcome of this process will significantly impact Edo State’s political landscape, raising questions about the future of its leadership and the ability of these two figures to work together, if at all.
