NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Phillip Shaibu, has shifted his office away from the Government House.
Despite withdrawing a lawsuit, he initiated against Governor Godwin Obaseki, this action was taken by Phillip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State.
The new office is situated at No. 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, close to the Government House.
Sources close to the deputy governor told Channels Television that a letter was sent by the Head of Service to the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor instructing her to supervise the movement of civil servants and files to the new office.
An aide to Shaibu while confirming the development said
Furthermore, it has been reported that the new office space is inhospitable due to the absence of electricity, waterlogging issues, and notably limited office space.
The state government had however insisted that the deputy governor’s new office is within the confines of the area designated as the Government House.
It would be recalled that a statement issued by Shaibu last week withdrawing the suit said his decision was to respect the intervention of several individuals including religious, prominent Edo people, and the traditional institution, and appreciated the governor for agreeing on the peace initiatives.
