In a daring move and barring any last minute change of plan, the Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki is reportedly set to disobey the pronouncement of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, which ruled last Friday, that all parties maintain “Status Quo Ante Bellum”, pending the hearing slated for Thursday August 10, 2023.



Hon. Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court Abuja issued a temporary order stopping the move by the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, to impeach his Deputy, Phillip Shaibu.



Impeccable Insider information revealed that in disregard for the temporary order, an impeachment ambush has been set for the early hours of Monday, 7th August as an affront on the judiciary.



It is said that the haste by the governor comes on the heels of his fear that the hearing adjourned till 10th August by the court, may not favour his purported intention, hence the plan to hatch his impeachment process before the hearing date.



Recall that the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Phillip Shuaibu, approached a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to stop the commencement of an impeachment process against him.

In the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1027/2023, the Inspector General of Police; State Security Service; the Governor of Edo State; the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, and the Chief Judge of Edo State are the first, second, third, fourth and fifth defendants respectively.



Shaibu is seeking an interlocutory injunction restraining the 3rd, 4th and 5th Defendants/Respondents or their agents from commencing an impeachment process against him.



He also prayed the court to restrain the governor of the state or other person acting on his order from harassing and preventing him from effectively discharging his duties as the deputy governor of the state.



In addition to the temporary order to maintain status quo ante bellum, in another ruling of the court made on July 27, 2023, the defendants were directed to show cause.

Without adherence to the pronouncements of the court, any impeachment process is deemed a fruitless adventure in the eyes of the law.

Mumu Governor and his Deputy

Always fighting here and there. When would you rest for once ?

What goes around,comes around.
You a chore grass root politician, left your allies to go and join one opportunist technocrat governor to fight against this that made him.

Anything Obaseki like, let him do to Shuaib.
Their cup of nescafe.

Osho Baba is back .

when they say someone is difficult,they mean Obaseki.I never see yeye person like this since them born me.

People who are surprised on the level of Obaseki’s betrayal need to do more research on his Great Grand father who betrayed the exiled Oba of Benin.
Betrayal is in his bloodline.

See his Big coconut head.

Unfortunately for op and Shaibu, Gov Obaseki does not have anything to do or any power to impeach his deputy. It is the House of Assemblly and the chief judge. If he committed impeacheable offences,, so be it.

The court judgement is ultra vires, null and void and mere academic exercise. The learned justice ventured into a desert route that leads to no where in law.

After all, Tinubu betrayed Depity Gov Akerele-Bucknor, Afenifere that supported him and also betrayed Femi Pedro, the second deputy governor. So it is surprisingthat those who saw nothingwrong with Tinubu's double betrayal are now gloating over Obaseki

The chicken has come home to roost
