The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has dismissed an appeal by the Edo State House of Assembly, affirming that Comrade Philip Shaibu remains the Deputy Governor of Edo State.
The Appeal Court upheld the earlier decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which voided Shaibu’s impeachment and ordered his immediate reinstatement to office.
The court warned that any individual aside from Shaibu parading themselves as Deputy Governor would face legal consequences.
This development comes after the Edo State House of Assembly impeached Shaibu on April 8, citing reasons such as perjury and leaking government secrets.
However, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court ruled that the impeachment procedure breached due process and ordered Shaibu’s reinstatement.
The court also set aside the appointment of Omobayo Godwins as the new Deputy Governor, replacing Shaibu. The Inspector General of Police was directed to provide Shaibu with necessary security to enable him to resume office and perform his functions as Deputy Governor until the end of his tenure.
