PHOTOS Emerge As Obaseki Makes Another Strong Move Against Shaibu

The ongoing dispute between Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, may escalate next week as the deputy governor is scheduled to be relocated to a different office outside the Government House.

The PUNCH reported on Saturday that the new office is located at 7 Dennis Osadebey Avenue, near the Government House. This building formerly served as the Edo State Public Procurement Office, inaugurated by former governor Adams Oshiomhole on December 16, 2014, as indicated by a plaque near the entrance.

A signboard reading ‘Office of the Deputy Governor’ has been erected at the entrance. During a visit by a source (The Punch) on Friday, workers were observed renovating both the building and its surroundings, although renovation had yet to start on the security post.

One of the renovation workers, who declined to provide his name, mentioned that the project was expected to be completed by Monday. He also expressed uncertainty about the building’s intended use and how the signboard came to be placed at the entrance.

The worker stated, “I work for the company handling this renovation of this building. Our job is to deliver the project on Monday as agreed. I do not know how the signboard got to the entrance of the building, and I don’t have an idea of what the building will be used for.”

Commenting on the development, the Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, remarked, “If there is a government signboard saying so, then it must be so.”
