In a dramatic turn of events, the Edo State House of Assembly has impeached Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, citing serious allegations of perjury and divulging sensitive government information.
Truth Live News gathered that the decision comes on the heels of Shaibu’s repeated failure to appear before the retired Justice S. A. Omonuwa-led seven-man panel convened to investigate these allegations.
The impeachment proceedings unfolded amidst heightened tensions and intense scrutiny, as the Assembly deliberated on the gravity of the accusations leveled against Shaibu.
The allegations of perjury, which imply dishonesty under oath, coupled with the purported leaking of government secrets, cast a shadow over Shaibu’s tenure as the state’s deputy governor.
The decision to impeach Shaibu showcased the Assembly’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and maintaining the integrity of public office. It reflects a decisive response to breaches of trust and ethical misconduct within the highest echelons of state governance.
