The Edo State Government says reinstated Philip Shaibu is impersonating the state’s deputy governor, urging the public to disregard him.
Shaibu had in a video announced his resumption of duty, directing his staff to do same, while claiming that all operations and exercise carried out during his absence was fraud and should be disregarded.
but the State Government in a statement by its Commissioner for Communication and Orientation Osa Nehikhare said Shaibu’s action is a “clear case of impersonation, restating that Shaibu is not the Deputy Governor of Edo State, and every correspondence from him in that regard should be disregarded and considered a forgery.
The commissioner claimed that the State through the Attorney General and state House of Assembly by their lawyers, Oluwole Iyamu, SAN, and Ken Mozia, SAN, respectively, had in the motions sought an order for a stay of the execution of the purported reinstatement and an order suspending the judgment and restraining Shaibu from parading himself or attending any official function as deputy governor pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.
