Sacked Shaibu vows to challenge impeachment after Edo gov appoints replacement

Philip Shaibu, the recently impeached Deputy Governor of Edo State, has vowed to fight what he calls an “injustice”, after he was impeached by the state House House of Assembly.

In a video released via X on Monday, Shaibu condemned the Edo State House of Assembly’s decision to remove him from office and appoint a 38-year-old politician, Omobayo Godwins, as his replacement.

Shaibu maintains his impeachment is illegal and politically motivated.
