Edo Government Refers to Philip Shaibu as Former Deputy Governor Despite Court Ruling

Must Read

Sure, let’s simplify this blog post so it’s easier to understand, even for younger readers. I’ll also focus on making it unique and engaging.


Even though a court in Abuja said so, the government of Edo State still calls Philip Shaibu the *former* deputy governor.

On Wednesday, the Abuja court said Shaibu’s removal was not done right.

The judge, James Omotosho, told the state to give Shaibu back his job because the lawmakers didn’t follow the rules.

The Edo State lawmakers had removed Shaibu after he had a fight with Governor Godwin Obaseki.

But Chris Nehikhare, who talks for the Edo State government, called Shaibu the deputy governor and told his followers not to be violent.

Chris Nehikhare warned Shaibu not to let his supporters damage things.

In a statement, Nehikhare said: “The Edo State government has seen thugs working with the former Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, causing trouble. They are pretending to be following the court’s judgement but are just making chaos in Benin City.

“Shaibu led these thugs on Airport Road, attacking people who are just doing their daily work.

“The State Government warns Shaibu to stop the violence. He must follow the law and is responsible for what his followers do.”


This version uses simple words and gives a clearer picture of what’s happening. It includes why the court made its decision, what the state government is saying, and how they are asking for peace.
