By Elvis Omoregie


The Chairman Coalition of Registered Political Parties (CRPP), Edo State Chapter Dr. Samson Isibor, yesterday condemned in strong terms on what he "called purported impeachment of the Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu uncalled for".

Dr. Samson Isibor in a press statement made available to Journalists  in Benin City, challenge the rationale behind the impeachment adding that it was a predetermined game from Governor Godwin Obaseki, to see that Shaibu was removed by all means even in the illegal way.

According to him, the former deputy governor have not committed any impeachable offence. "We blame the Chief Judge of Edo State for allowing himself to be used by Obaseki to disobey a high court summon, including the outgoing Governor Obaseki, and the Edo State House of Assembly who harassed and chased away a court bailiff. What a reality displayed by the lawbreakers he said".

“Our consolation is that the Edo governorship election is coming up in few months time, at which Edo people will laugh last to say it is a good riddance to bad government. We commend Comrade Shaibu for not appearing at the Kangaroo panel. 

“If he had appeared at the panel, Shaibu would have given credence to the illegally constituted panel against the court order. We are advising Comrade Shaibu to forge ahead with the court process. 

“He will definitely reclaim is mandate given to him by Edo people which was illegally truncated by Obaseki. The CRPP is strongly behind him. We assure him of our unchangeable support all the way.”
