In a stunning turn of events, the Edo House of Assembly has unleashed a political earthquake by commencing impeachment proceedings against the state’s deputy governor, Philip Shaibu. The Majority Leader, Charity Aiguobarueghian, dropped the bombshell during a charged plenary session, revealing that a staggering 21 out of the 24 members have signed a petition against the embattled deputy governor.

Aiguobarueghian, with a gravity that echoed through the chambers, declared that the number of signatures surpassed the constitutional two-thirds requirement, solidifying the legitimacy of the impeachment move. The petition, dated March 5, alleges misconduct on two pivotal grounds: perjury and the purported revelation of government secrets.

The Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, acknowledged the seismic petition, setting the stage for a high-stakes political drama. Agbebaku wasted no time, instructing the clerk of the house, Yahaya Omogbai, to personally deliver the impeachment notice to Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu.

Adding fuel to the already blazing political fire, Agbebaku granted Shaibu a mere seven days to formulate a response to the impending storm of impeachment. The clock is ticking, and the political landscape in Edo is set for unprecedented turbulence as this shocking development unfolds. Stay tuned as the state braces for a political showdown that could reshape its future.
