Oshiomhole: No talk with Obaseki to sack Shaibu

The Senator representing Edo North Senatorial district, Adams Oshiomhole says he did not reach any agreement with Governor Godwin Obaseki to plot the impeachment of the State deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu.

This comes days after Shaibu approached a federal High Court, challenging the eligibility of Dr Asue Ighodalo’s nomination as Peoples Democratic Candidate for the September 21, 2024 Edo State governorship election.

Mr Victor Oshioke, one of the Legislative Aides to Oshiomhole said in a statement that the tumours Oshiomhole can influence All Progressives Congress members in the State House of Assembly to support the Governor to impeach Shaibu.

Oshioke revealed that “Senator Oshiomhole has not and will not engage in any deals with Governor Obaseki on this or any other political issue”.

He noted that the former Labour Leader is solely focused on fostering goodwill between the people of Edo State and the APC, with a determination to win the upcoming governorship election and enthrone APC government in Edo.

“Also, it is important to state that matters of impeachment are the sole responsibilities of the Edo State House of Assembly and the Edo State Judiciary.

“Political parties have no constitutional role to play in any impeachment process.

“Therefore, the notion that Senator Adams Oshiomhole can influence the actions of APC lawmakers, should there be any impeachment exercise in the Edo State House of Assembly is simply preposterous.

“Senator Oshiomhole has not and will not engage in any deal with Governor Obaseki on this or any other political issue”, Oshiomhole said.
