Comrade Shaibu was impeached by the Edo State lawmakers on the basis of misconduct.
The Edo State House of Assembly impeached Comrade Philip Shaibu, the state’s deputy governor, on Monday, April 8.
The impeachment followed the adoption of the report of the Assembly’s seven-man investigative panel, which was formed to investigate allegations of misconduct against Shaibu.
His impeachment is on the heels of the ongoing feud between himself and the incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
This development may likely spark a fresh crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the entire state as they prepare for this year’s gubernatorial polls.
