The Edo State House of Assembly has impeached the state’s deputy governor Philip Shaibu.
The impeachment followed weeks of back and forth with the Deputy Governor over some allegations against him. After the Assembly notified Shaibu of the impeachment move against him, a panel was set up to investigate the issue and hear from the two parties involved- Edo Assembly and Shaibu.
However, Shaibu did not appear before the panel in the last few sittings neither did he sent any representative whereas the Assembly was represented.
More details later.
