Obaseki/Shaibu Rift: Edo Assembly to serve impeachment notice to Deputy governor by substitution

The Edo State House Assembly has directed for the publication of the impeachment notice for Edo deputy governor Rt. Hon. Phillip Shaibu in national dailies, as he allegedly refused to acknowledge the notice served on him by the House last week. 

During the plenary on Monday, the speaker of the Edo state House, RT. hon Agbebaku, alleged that Shaibu has rejected the impeachment notice that was served on him by the house. 

Consequently, he directed the clerk of the House, Yahaya Omogbai, to publish the notice in the Nigerian Observer newspaper and other national dailies. 

It can be recalled that last week, 21 out of 24 lawmakers signed an impeachment notice on the deputy governor on grounds of perjury and revealing of government official secret with a seven day ultimatum to respond.
