Edo State: I’ve Withdrawn Court Case Against My Boss, Gov Obaseki – Philip Shaibu

Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu has withdrawn the suit he filed against Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The Deputy Governor had filed an anti-impeachment suit at a High Court Abuja against Obaseki.

The suit with reference number: FHC/ABJ/CS/1027/2023, was seeking to stop the governor from making attempts to impeach him.

But in a statement he personally signed, Shaibu who has been at loggerheads with the Edo helmsman, also described the governor as his boss and senior brother.

Listed as defendants in the suit were the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Department of State Services (DSS), Edo Governor and the Chief Judge of Edo State.

Giving his reasons for withdrawing the case, the Deputy governor said some well-meaning Edolites, and Nigerians, have held meetings with him and his principal.
