The reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, declared his intention to stay in office until November 11, when the governorship election is scheduled.
Shaibu asserted his readiness to resume office immediately following the Abuja Federal High Court’s reaffirmation of his position.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Shaibu accused Governor Godwin Obaseki of withholding his salary for the past year despite his elected status as deputy governor.
“I’m elected deputy governor of this state and the court has reaffirmed it. I will be deputy governor till November eleven, even when the governor has not paid. He has not paid for the last one year,” Shaibu stated.
Asserting his commitment to lawfulness, Shaibu announced his intent to return to office promptly. “I will not do anything that would lead to the loss of life.
I have been maintaining peace, the office of the deputy governor must be given its rightful respect. I will resume in the office and face my work,” he affirmed.
