In a shocking twist of events, the Edo State House of Assembly has impeached Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, marking the culmination of a heated political feud between Shaibu and his former boss, Governor Godwin Obaseki. The impeachment came after a panel found Shaibu guilty of disclosing official secrets, a serious breach of conduct. The embattled deputy governor has vehemently denied the allegations, calling the impeachment illegal and promising to fight against the perceived injustice.

The impeachment process, which began months ago amidst a soured relationship, reached its climax during a plenary session in Benin City, the capital of Edo State. The decision to impeach Shaibu was finalized following the adoption of a report by a seven-man investigative panel appointed by the state's Chief Judge. Despite the tensions and controversies surrounding the impeachment, Philip Shaibu remains resolute in challenging the assembly's decision and maintaining his innocence.

In the wake of the impeachment, Edo's political landscape faces further turbulence as the fallout between Shaibu and Obaseki deepens. The power struggle within the state's leadership has captured public attention, with many closely watching the developments unfolding in the aftermath of Shaibu's removal. The implications of this impeachment extend beyond the personal feud between the two politicians, impacting the governance and stability of Edo State.

As Philip Shaibu prepares to contest his impeachment and defend his reputation, the repercussions of this dramatic turn of events reverberate throughout Edo's political sphere. The rift between Shaibu and Obaseki underscores the complexities of power dynamics in Nigerian politics, highlighting the fragility and tensions that exist within state leadership structures.
