Edo deputy gov Shaibu dedicates new office ahead of resumption

The Edo state deputy governor, Philip Shaibu on Tuesday, October 3, dedicated his new office ahead of his resumption. A video shared online showed over 10 priests praying, blessing and spraying holy water inside and outside the premises as other voices can be heard singing hymns and other songs.

Recall that Shaibu’s office was relocated from the state government house after he fell out with his principal, Godwin Obaseki. The politicians fell out after Shuaibu declared his intention to seek election as governor of the state after Obaseki completes his tenure. This caused a rift between them as Obaseki did not hide his disapproval. He took several steps including relocating Shaibu’s office out of the state government house.

They have however settled their differences after Shaibu tendered a public apology to Obaseki.
