Edo State deputy governor, Philip Shaibu is in hot soup.

Governor Godwin Obaseki has disbanded the media team attached to his office.

The Commissioner for Information, Chris Osa Nehikhare in a statement on Monday, August 28th, 2023 said:

“This directive followed the unfortunate incident that happened during the colloquium held to mark the 60th anniversary of Midwest Referendum, where some journalists, who claimed to be the media crew of the Deputy Governor, attempted to force their way into the hall where the Governor and other dignitaries were already seated.”

“This act was against the accreditation protocol that had been established for the event coverage.”

“The orchestrated and stage-managed walkout and disruption is highly regrettable.”
