For the second time, James Omotosho, presiding judge of the federal high court in Abuja, declined to grant the application of Philip Shaibu seeking to restrain Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, and others, from impeaching him.

However, the federal high court on Wednesday granted the application of Shaibu, deputy governor of Edo, to serve Obaseki with court documents through substituted means.

In the motion dated and filed on March 8, Shaibu, through his lawyer, Oladoyin Awoyale, sued Obaseki, Edo state government, the house of assembly, and speaker as 1st to 4th defendants.

Also joined in the suit are clerk of the assembly, chief judge of Edo, inspector-general of police (IGP) and director-general of state security service, as 5th to 8th defendants respectively.

Shaibu sought an order of interim injunction restraining the defendants from carrying out any action to remove him from office, pending the hearing of the motion on notice.

“The motion ex parte for interim injunction dated and filed 8th day of March 2024 is hereby refused,” the judge held.

The judge had ordered the lawyer to serve all the defendants with the processes and hearing notices and adjourned until March 18 for hearing.

At the resumption of hearing on Wednesday, Awoyale told the court that Obaseki and Edo house of assembly, who are the principal actors in the matter, have not been served.

The counsel said the 6th, 7th and 8th defendants had been served.

He asked the court to grant the prayer to serve the court papers on Obaseki and the state house of assembly by substituted means.

He said the court documents should be pasted at the gates of Edo state government house, and house of assembly complex, or by courier service.

Awoyale also prayed the court for an order for parties to maintain a status quo pending the hearing and determination of the suit.

The judge granted the prayers that the court documents be served on Obaseki and the state house of assembly through substituted means.

He declined the application of Shaibu that the parties should maintain status quo pending the determination of the suit.

He adjourned the matter until April 15 for hearing.

And it looks like he'd be rejected at the pools if he miraculously scale through this quagmire... He's still keeping hope alive. Brother actually believes in one way or the other that light at
the end of the of Edo tunnel would shine... Is it good to be indefatigable, unrelenting, and resilient? Shaibu is about to tell us.

Clash of the Titans.
Edo no be Lagos

Lawyers cashing out

Mr Shaibu zukwanuike, nobody is after you

It's not a must that a deputy Govr will later become executive Govr

rest and enjoy your loots, if you have any

Why is he being impeached?

We don't usually hear anything about deputy governors. They are always silent doing their job, while being loyal.

But this one and very few others want to outshine their masters. How do you want to become governor in this Nigeria without being loyal?

sope o ti lo. Farewell thou Shaibu

He deserves it, he should be impeached, called back, & impeached again, a very foolish man that betrayed his boss, to dine with the devil.

Shaibu is going, going, gone!

He's not a politician, was thinking this guy was smart sha... I wont be surprise that it cud be his wife pushing him.. fear women, very greedy creatures

Deputy Governor for 8years is not enough for you, you want to kill yourself to be Governor because you are the most brilliant person in your State and after governorship you go and fight for president. Greed and self-centeredness is our problem

he should be impeached out of emotions, and yours is valid ?
