The political landscape of Edo State was shaken today as the State House of Assembly announced the impeachment of Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu. The decision culminated weeks of mounting tension and accusations against Shaibu, ultimately leading to his removal from office.

As the dust settles on this unprecedented move, questions linger about the future direction of the state's leadership and the impact of Shaibu's removal on its governance.
Stay tuned as developments unfold in this evolving political saga, with stakeholders and observers closely monitoring the aftermath of this historic impeachment.
