For a short time now, it has seemed the raging war between governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and his former embattled deputy, Philip Shaibu has ended following his ability to have thwarted his (Shaibu ) governorship ambition and secondly, his subsequent impeachment by the Edo State House of Assembly.
Little did one know that it was not yet uhuru for Shaibu as another one will be resurfacing. This one, is the call for the return of over 20 vehicles under his custody.
Newstracktoday reports that the state governor has placed the security agencies on a red alert to retrieve them from him if he fails to return them within one week.
“The Edo State Government hereby issues this notice directing the retrieval of official government vehicles allocated to the Office of the Deputy Governor, Edo State, which are currently in the custody of the former Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.
“The former deputy governor is by this notice given a seven-day ultimatum from the date of this publication to return the vehicles, as relevant security agencies have been put on alert to retrieve the vehicles after the expiration of the notice”, the state governor, disclosed this through the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare.
Recall that the former deputy governor was expelled from his party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for alleged anti-party activities.
He was accused of willingly donating his campaign office, vehicles to the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Monday Okpebholo.
