Dep-Gov Goes To America As Lawmakers Meet Sunday Over Impeachment Plot
The camp of Governor Godwin Obaseki has approached 12 members of the Edo State House of Assembly to canvass the impeachment of the deputy governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, the governor’s immediate past commissioner for communication and orientation, Andrew Emwanta has said.
Speaking in an interview, Emwanta disclosed that a strategy meeting of the House members and their guides had been scheduled to hold in Abuja on Sunday to perfect the impeachment plot against the deputy governor.
Meanwhile, GWG.ng gathered that Shaibu has meanwhile temporarily relocated to the United States where he is monitoring the moves against him by the camp of the governor.
“12 members of the House of Assembly were approached and you know among the 12, the deputy governor has one or two loyalists who leaked the plot,” Emwanta said in an interview on Channels Television monitored by GWG.ng
“You know they need 16 members. So four other members were to be sourced from the eight APC members but when they saw that the plot will leak once the APC people are aware, there was a final plan for a meeting to hold on the 6th of this month in Abuja where four members’ signatures would have been forged, impeachment plot would be arranged and if the deputy governor was not comfortable with whatever would have happened he would be told to go to court.”
“But you know that when you impeach a deputy governor it is very difficult to bring him back because the judicial process is very long.”
GWG.ng had reported earlier on Friday that Comrade Shaibu secured an order from a Federal High Court in Abuja ordering Governor Obaseki and the State House of Assembly to stay action on the alleged impeachment plot against him.
