Edo Deputy Governor Philips Shaibu has alleged Governor Godwin Obaseki has perfected a plot to impeach him.
Shaibu, in a suit filed at the Federal High Court Abuja, listed the Inspector General of Police, State Security Service, Edo Governor, Edo Speaker and Edo Chief Judge, as defendants, requesting special court protection from Obaseki’s impeachment plot so that he can function as Deputy Governor of the South-South State.
He alleged the Governor was using security operatives as well as Edo Speaker and Chief Judge to perfect the plots to have him impeached.
Reports say the misunderstanding between Obaseki and Shaibu started after the Deputy Governor was sighted with Senator Adams Oshimohole during the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly in Abuja in a viral video.
The Governor has however debunked the news, stating that he has no intentions to impeach the deputy governor.
