Shaibu, it would be recalled, has been in the eyes of the storm with his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki, over the governorship ticket of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Matters got to a head when the Edo State House of Assembly (EDHA) commenced impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor on two grounds of alleged perjury and violation of secrecy oath.

The impeachment notice was based on a petition dated March 5, 2024, signed by 21 out of the 24 members of the House, against the deputy governor.
