Edo Assembly impeaches Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu

The Edo State House of Assembly on impeached the state’s Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu.

This was carried out during the House’s plenary session in Benin City, the state capital, according to a report by Channels Television.

Newstrends reports that Shaibu’s impeachment came after the adoption of the report of a seven-man committee set up by the Chief Judge of Edo State, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, that investigated allegations of misconduct against the deputy governor.

Last week, the Edo House of Assembly started the impeachment proceedings against Shaibu. Twenty-one of the 24 lawmakers signed a petition to that effect.

They accused Shaibu of perjury and disclosure of the state government’s secrets.

During its plenary last Tuesday, the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly Blessing Agbebaku told the lawmakers that the seven-day ultimatum granted Shaibu to respond to the impeachment notice served on him had expired.

The speaker reminded the lawmakers that the impeachment notice was served on Shaibu on March 6, 2024. But due to what he described as the deputy governor’s alleged evasion of service, the Edo House of Assembly ordered a substituted service.

Agbebaku said the substituted service was published in the Nigerian Observer and the Vanguard Newspapers on March 12, 2024. He said March 19, 2024, made it seven days.

The Majority Leader of the Edo House of Assembly Charity Aiguobarueghan then moved a motion that Justice Okungbowa be directed to set up a committee to probe the petition against Shaibu.

Shaibu’s impeachment is a culmination of the political impasse between the deputy governor and his principal Godwin Obaseki.
