They’re Threatening Me With Impeachmen – Shaibu Cries Out

After his emergence as a guber factional candidate of the PDP, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has said he is worried about a new scheme to remove him from office.

According to him, the scheme was intensified after he was elected as a factional candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the upcoming governorship election.

Shaibu, the deputy governor of the state, said this

While speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday, Shaibu said his emergence as the party’s governorship candidate triggered the plot to impeach him.

“Even as we speak, my team has been calling me that, ‘Look at what these people are doing. They are saying they are going to impeach you; that you have gotten too far.’ They are threatening to impeach me. And I said, well, if fighting for my rights and all of us collectively fighting for my rights as in the constitution, triggers impeachment, so be it, because fighting for my rights and saying I must contest the election is my constitutional rights and cannot be taken by anybody.

“So if constitutional right is why they will now trigger impeachment, the courts are there; they will interpret it,” he said.

At the time of filing this report, no official statement from his boss, Governor Obaseki in the allegation.
