Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has selected a 38-year-old Engineer, Omobayo Godwin, as his new deputy, with inauguration imminent. This decision follows the impeachment of the former deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, by the state’s House of Assembly on Monday.
The panel established for the impeachment proceedings of the former deputy governor stated that Shaibu was removed from office for allegedly leaking the state government’s secrets.
