Court grants Obaseki and Edo assembly permission to remove Shaibu

Rather, the court postponed the hearing to March 18 and directed the attorney to serve the procedures and hearing notifications to each defendant.On Wednesday, a Federal High Court in Abuja denied the request of Philip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo, ordering the Governor Godwin Obaseki, the House of Assembly, and other parties involved in his case to preserve the status quo until the substantive matter was heard and decided.The situation came about as a result of Justice James Omotosho's denial of Shaibu's attorney, Prof. Oladoyin Awoyale,'s oral request.According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the beleaguered deputy governor sued the Edo State government, governor, house of assembly, and speaker as first to fourth parties in a move ex parte marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/321/2024.
