Shaibu, Edo Deputy Governor resumes work in his new office



The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, on Tuesday morning, officially resumed work in his new office at 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue very close to Edo state government house. This was after noticing that his former office in government house have been locked up by security men attached to government house. 

Recall that on Monday, Philip Shaibu claimed that he had not received any official communication for him to relocate to the new office, he also said it was only the civil savants attached to his office that was relocated. 

He was seen standing  by the entrance to his former office, which was under lock. He was also seen making a call to an unknown individual, pleading to help him call the governor to know why his former office was locked. Shaibu was also complaining to the unknown individual that he was yet to receive any letter asking him to relocate.

But on Tuesday, Philip Shaibu confirmed he has received a two-paragraph memo from the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Osarodion Ogie. In the letter, Governor Obaseki directed that the deputy governor relocate to the new office address which is located at 7, Osadebey avenue. 

The letter which was dated September 15, 2023 was received by a Permanent Secretary in the office of the deputy governor, and the letter was acknowledged on Monday, September 18, 2023.

Confirming the new development, one of Shaibu’s aides on Tuesday morning said: “We are already here,” when asked about the memo, we resumed at the new office this morning and we will be working from here now. 

Shaibu fell out with the governor when he instituted a suit in an Abuja Federal High Court. He was 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.
