Despite recently withdrawing a lawsuit against Governor Obaseki, the Deputy Governor’s decision to move his office to an undisclosed location raises questions about the state of their working relationship. The rift between the two prominent figures in Edo State politics has been a subject of concern among citizens.
Comrade Shaibu had previously taken legal action against Governor Obaseki, alleging violations of his constitutional rights and privileges. However, the surprise withdrawal of the lawsuit had led to hopes of a reconciliation between the two politicians.
The decision to move his office out of the Government House, which serves as the official seat of the Edo State Executive, is seen as a symbolic step that may indicate an ongoing discord. This development has garnered significant attention in Edo State, with many citizens eager for clarity on the situation and its implications for the state’s governance.
