Court Reaffirms Shaibu As Edo Deputy Governor, Throws Out Obaseki’s Petition by BleedingPen(op): 12:20pm On Sep 24, 2024

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, reaffirmed the reinstatement of Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu as the Edo State Deputy Governor.

The court, presided over by Justice James Omotosho, dismissed the application of stay of execution brought before it by the Obaseki-led Edo State government and the state House of Assembly against the reinstatement of Shaibu.

Dissatisfied with the application before him by the Appellants, Justice Omotosho said he cannot grant the application as he earlier gave a judgement reinstating Shaibu.

He, therefore, dismissed the application with a fine of 200 thousand naira (#200,000.00) each against the Appellants.

Justice Omotosho had earlier in July, 2024 reinstated Shaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State, months after he was impeached by the state assembly.

The court declared the impeachment by the Edo State House of Assembly as illegal, unconstitutional, null, and void.

It held that the said impeachment was in gross violation of the provisions of both sections 188 and 35 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

The judge held that the impeachment was in gross violation of the Constitution.

Aside from reinstating Shaibu, the court also ordered that his salaries and allowances should be paid to him from April when he was impeached as the deputy governor of the state.

The court issued an order of perpetual injunction restraining Governor Godwin Obaseki and the Edo State House of Assembly from stopping Shaibu from performing the functions of his office.

Justice Omotosho also ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun to restore his security details which the IGP had complied with.

Obaseki has been thoroughly defeated, even up to his local government.

See some of the clowns in the below screenshot that were hailing Obaseki and Davido because of delusional flogging that they were misinformed by Davido.

One even said Obaseki should contest for Presidency in 2027, because na man him be.

Hahahahaha!

All of them are covering their faces in shame now.

Losers galore!

Once you loose out, the federal might hits from every angle.

Power they say is transient. Your best friend today could be your worst enemy tomorrow. So thread with caution.

I can hit my chest and say today that Obaseki is no on his own. Bystanders, bootlickers, sycophants and pretenders will now look for a new haven.

Forget APC's nonsense, Obaseki is a big time Fool

He started losing this whole thing when he started this fight with his deputy.

Most of this accidental politicians need to understand the rules of the game they are playing.

You can never win a war with divide house.

THIS IS ALSO A LESSON FOR THAT BOLA TINUBU AND HIS NORTHERN NIGERIA MANAGERS.( He is playing with his strong support base)

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
