The atmosphere at the Edo State Government House was tense. The Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, had arrived at the government house with his security aides and was attempting to forcefully enter Governor Godwin Obaseki's personal office. The governor was reportedly not present at the time.
Despite being informed of this fact, Shaibu persisted in his attempt to confront the governor. He disregarded pleas from security operatives to call the governor instead and continued to push the gate, causing a scene and raising concerns about the possibility of physical harm towards the governor.
The incident sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters, with many people expressing concern about the deteriorating relationship between Shaibu and Obaseki. Some political analysts have speculated that the incident may be linked to the ongoing power struggle between the deputy governor and the governor.
Both Shaibu and Obaseki were once political allies, but their relationship has reportedly soured in recent times. The incident at the government house has only served to fuel rumors of a rift between the two politicians.
As of now, there has been no official statement from either Shaibu or Obaseki regarding the incident. However, it has been reported that the governor has ordered an investigation into the matter to determine what exactly transpired and to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future.
