The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has been denied access to his old office at the Government House in Benin, the state capital.

Shaibu arrived at the Government House on Monday morning but met the gate leading to his office under lock and key.

He says is yet to receive a formal letter from the governor’s office and that according to him is the proper channel to transmit a directive pertaining to the relocation to a new office.

“Up till now, I don’t have any official communication that I should relocate. The only people that have official communication are my civil servants. The civil servants have official communication but I don’t. As I am speaking to you now, I am standing by the gate,” he said while on a phone call to a yet-to-be-identified person.

Last week, a letter said to be from the office of the Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa, was reported to have been sent to the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor directing Shuaibu to relocate to a new office situated at No 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, GRA, Benin City.

However, sources close to Edo’s number two citizen claimed that the new office is abandoned and in dire need of rehabilitation.

The development is the latest in the tussle between Governor Obaseki and his deputy. While there have been speculations about plans to impeach Shaibu, the Edo Assembly has denied such.

Obaseki had also accused his deputy of plotting a coup against him. But at a recent gathering to mark the anniversary of the state’s creation, Shaibu described his principal as a brother, saying he remains loyal to him despite their political differences.

“As for the issues that are around town when I was away, I really would not want to talk. Issues that concern my governor are not things I like to speak about on camera. No, no, no! He is my elder brother and boss and I don’t think I should talk about anything. And if I have issues with him, I think it is better settled at home and not in the media. I am well brought up,” he said on the sidelines of a thanksgiving service in Benin to mark the 32nd anniversary of Edo State.

“I can tell you that from my Christian background if you make a vow with God that you want to do something, you must fulfill it. And the vow I have taken with God is that I will continue to support Godwin Obaseki as the governor of Edo State from the beginning to the end.

“But that does not stop anything that has to do with ambition. Ambition is personal and it does not affect loyalty. My loyalty to the governor remains absolute. I see that everybody is doing solidarity. I am also in solidarity with the governor. I am also declaring my unalloyed solidarity and loyalty to the governor and nothing more.”

Wahala wahala
Make Shuaibu respect himself na.
To avoid impeachment

If he didn’t get a relocation notice, he deserves an apology from the governor’s office for the lack of proper communication

On his own part, he should reach out to the governor’s office and make it easy for himself while waiting to sort the issues out

That reminds me of what he and obaseki did to oshiomole some years ago. By next year obaseki will cease to be a governor.

seems shuaibu's friendship with obaseki has ended

My civil servants "has" official communication.. .

A whole Deputy Governor of a State.

Stand very well, you hear? After all, you have been training with Bendel Insurance.

You will stand there till you are tired.

Did he reach out to the Governor when he was planning to install a Speaker?

Did he reach out to the Gov when he was going to Court? No Dep-Gov has won that way.

You want the Gov to apologize to him? Shaibu should be taught a thorough lesson tbh, he is still showboating.

You eff up instead of you to mellow, you dey buga.

This ugly Edo governor and his deputy again

Their inside ugly pass their outside

Edo men tufiakwa

This shaibu na hypocrite

Are you now narrating your oga or are you looking for peace?

Na here the battle really start as you have involved channels live

He is a coward, fight the governor and show him you have power too

This drama should end already

Their problem

Where are those Insulting Senator Adams O !

E no concern me

The power tussle between governors and their deputies didn’t start today, this surely won’t be the last episode

In this life you must always be mindful of all your actions because life is turn by turn, you always get what you give.

Make peace with Your Governor in public...

When you follow a betrayer, expect to be betrayed.

He will remain at the gate till the end of his tenure, he never see anything.

Awon ojelu

This Obaseki is too petty.

That's not what Edo people are known for.

God catch u mumu

It looked like photoshoot o


I can't see any security abi na my eyes no clear

When you sell your brother to your friends,you should be rest assured that your friends will never trust you 💯

Oshiomole is a man indeed...A man who truly saw the future...

It's not proper to lock a sitting gov out of his office without going through the right process. This an abuse and bully to is right which shld not be taken lightly by him. He should destroy that key and sue Obaseki with immediate effect.

Obaseki and Shuaibu deserve each other.

QED.

This is a loss loss journey for both of you if care is not taking

Apc will easily win Edo next year with this war between both of you

Edo no be Lagos don finished

They should turn this into a series, kinda interesting with nice plots.
