The Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, was conspicuously missing on Tuesday during the swearing-in of new Commissioners in Edo State.
Infopowerng reports that the new Commissioners include Ethan Osaze Uzamere, Christopher Osaretin Nehikhare, Monday Osaigbovo, Dr. Joan Osa-Oviawe, Isoken Omo, Stephen Ehikhioya Idehenre, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, Patrick Uanseru, and Samuel Alli (Dr.).
Others are Adaze Aguele-Kalu, Kingsley Uwagbale, Uyi Oduwa Malaka, Joshua Omokhodion, Ojiefoh Enaholo Donatus, and Christabel Omo Ekwu.
All may not be well between Governor Obaseki and Shaibu as reports have emerged claiming the Deputy Governor is plotting to take over from his boss in 2024.
Shaibu, who has maintained his relationship with his political godfather, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, despite being in different political parties, was reportedly in Abuja to celebrate with the Edo former governor on his inauguration as a Senator.
