Edo Government accuses Shaibu of impersonating Deputy Governor, Omobayo

This is contained in a statement by the state Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Osa Nehikhare on Monday in Benin. The state government alleged that Shaibu had been carrying out correspondence with individuals and organisations, claiming to be the deputy governor.

Nehikhare urged the public to disregard such correspondence from Shaibu because the issue of his reinstatement as deputy governor was still in court.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Shaibu, who was impeached by the state House of Assembly, was reinstated on July 19, by a federal high court in Abuja.
