... House to move impeachment notice on Wednesday
... Gets Oshiomole Support for APC Lawmakers
Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki has perfected all arrangement with the Hon. Blessing Agbebaku led House of Assembly to impeach his deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu on Wednesday 6th March 2024.
A member of the State House of Assembly, who does not want his name in the print, told our reporter that they were summoned by the governor on Sunday where he, Godwin Obaseki, briefed them the next step to take against his deputy for daring to contest against Dr. Asue Ighodalo his anointed candidate.
At the time of filling this story, about 12 of the lawmakers have signed the impeachment notice.
Our reporter also gathered from our close source that the governor has already gotten across to comrade Adams Oshiomole to help lobby and talk to the APC Lawmakers in the House to support the impeachment move against Comrade Philip Shaibu since he, the deputy governor, is not in good terms with the Edo North Senator.
