The feud between the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki and his Deputy, Philip Shaibu took a dramatic turn on Monday, after reports began circulating alleging that Shaibu was locked out of the government house by Obaseki.
An unsigned statement, which made a case for the governor, claimed that Shaibu attempted to force his way into the personal office of the governor along with his security aides, even when his office had been moved to another property. The statement went further to claim that Shuaibu had tried to confront the governor at his office but met his absence. He was then told by security guarding the office, that he needed permission before he could be let into the office, but he insisted on gaining access into the Governor’s personal office.
