Edo Renewed Hope Agenda (HRHA) has advised Governor Godwin Obaseki to stop fighting his deputy and provide good governance for the people.
In a statement in Benin signed by Imade Osagie, the group noted the deputy governor left Adams Oshiomhole to support Obaseki in their political battles, and regretted that Obaseki had decided to humiliate his deputy in public.
“We condemn the ejection of Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu from the Government House. It is not only outrageous but also smirks of vendetta, which sadly has become trademark of Obaseki.
“We urge Obaseki to stop turning a deputy governor into a ‘spare tyre’ in front of his office. It’s quite despicable.
“Why is Obaseki so mean to those who helped him to climb the political ladder? Both of them came in on a joint ticket; so it is unconstitutional for the governor to relocate the office of his deputy.
“Shaibu should be accorded his right and the dignity deserving of his office. Edo State deserves better bargain than the shameless show being served our people,” it said.
“It is shameful a governor, who has performed little, is busy fighting his deputy instead of being committed to providing good governancefor the electorate.”
