[JUST IN] Shaibu relocates Office out of Edo Govt House despite withdrawing suit against Obaseki

The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu has commenced the relocation of his office to an area outside the vicinity of the Government House.

Last Monday, Shaibu’s suit in the Federal High Court to stop alleged schemes by the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, to remove him from office was withdrawn.

The new office is located on Dennis Osadebey Avenue, near the Government House.

Sources close to the deputy governor said that a letter was sent by the Head of Service to the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor instructing her to supervise the movement of civil servants and files to the new office.

It was also gathered that the new office is not habitable as there is no electricity, is waterlogged, and the office spaces are significantly small.

The state government had however insisted that the deputy governor’s new office is within the confines of the area designated as the Government House.
