Edo Govt accuses Philip Shaibu of impersonation, says he’s not deputy gov

The Edo State Government has accused Philip Shaibu, the former deputy governor of the state of impersonating the current deputy governor, Omobayo Marvelous Godwins, and warned of a potential security breach.

In a statement, Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, said, “It has come to our attention that Philip Shaibu has been corresponding with various institutions and organizations, both within and outside the state, impersonating the deputy governor.
