Shaibu's Impeachment: I Didn't See Myself Work With Two Deputy Governors — Obaseki


The Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has said he never saw himself working with two deputy governors before the conclusion of his eight years in office.

Obaseki's outburst is coming hours after the impeachment of his former Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shiabu.

It would be recalled that members of the Edo State House of Assembly had impeached Shaibu on April 8, 2024, and replaced him with Godwins Omobayo.

Speaking while reacting to the swearing-in of the 38-year-old Omobayo, as the new deputy governor on Monday, April 8, 2024, Obaseki, citing Proverbs 16:9, observed that there was no void in the government, which is why a new deputy governor was appointed and sworn in.

In his words: “We have run a very interesting and eventful tenure since we took office in 2016 and gained your trust to continue on our mandate for another term in 2020, and at no point in this journey did I envisage that I will be having to work with two deputy governors before the end of my eight-year run in office.

“But as the Bible says in Proverb 16:9, ‘You may make your plans, but it is God that directs your actions.

“As there cannot be a vacuum in government, we have by consensus selected Omobayo Marvellous to take over the baton as the new deputy governor of our dear state.”
