Edo State Former commissioner of Information and Orientation, Adaze Ewanta, has asked the former Speaker of the House of Assembly to stop beating the drum of war and look for how the problem between the governor, Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shaibu could be resolved.
He also faulted the position of some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Edo North Senatorial District led by the former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon Kabiru Adjoto who on Monday in a press conference disowned Shaibu, alleging that he (Adjoto) was deliberately stoking the crisis for his personal ambition.
Reacting to the development, Ewanta said Adjoto and many of those with him were part of the team stoking the crisis for their selfish interests.
“I really don’t know why he now chose to speak on behalf of the governor.
“In the last election, did Adjoto win his election and God forbid if that impeachment had gone through, he was one of those beneficiaries lurking around.
“They were the ones busy looking for people to get signatures to impeach the deputy governor.
“And I am happy that we are gradually seeing the people behind the plot but in actual fact, they should be making peace and not beating the drums of war.
“However, the matter is in court and we cannot now take the place of the judiciary. So that should allow the court to decide”, Ewanta said.
