DRAMA AT EX-DEPUTY GOVERNORS’ FORUM AS SHAIBU, OMOBAYO CLASH OVER EDO REPRESENTATION. (PHOTO).


 Drama at Ex-Deputy Governors’ Forum as Shaibu, Omobayo Clash Over Edo Representation


Mild chaos erupted at the fourth annual national conference of the Former Deputy Governors’ Forum on Tuesday when reinstated Edo Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu publicly challenged the introduction of his successor, Omobayo Godwins, as the state’s representative.


The tension flared immediately after Omobayo was announced as Edo’s “former deputy governor” at the Abuja event, prompting Shaibu to interrupt and object vehemently.


Both men briefly argued over legitimacy, turning the gathering into a momentary spectacle.


Speaking afterward, Shaibu branded the introduction “improper,” insisting Omobayo was “never elected but brought in through the backdoor.” He cited a recent court judgment declaring his April 2024 impeachment illegal and affirming that the office was never vacant.


Omobayo, in response, denied self-appointment and called the clash “almost a national disgrace,” adding that he had strived to remain composed.


Shaibu was impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly in April 2024 and replaced by Omobayo. However, a Federal High Court later nullified the impeachment as unconstitutional and ordered his reinstatement.
