Leaders of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State on Sunday berated the Deputy Governor of the State, Comrade PHILIP SHAIBU, for approaching the court over an allegation of impeachment.
Shaibu had approached the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking a restraining order against his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki, whom he alleged was planning his impeachment.
During a meeting on Sunday in Igueben, Igueben Local Government Area of Edo, PDP leaders who are from Edo Central Senatorial District faulted Shaibu for not exploring internal dispute resolution mechanisms of the party.
According to NAN, those who attended the meeting included Edo chairman of the party, Tony Aziegbemi; former Edo Central Senator, Clifford Odia, former Chairman, PDP Board of Trustee (BOT), Chief Tom Ikimi, among others.
In a communique which was issued after the meeting, the PDP leaders said a vote of confidence was passed on Obaseki over the matter.
The PDP leaders also observed that the controversy was unnecessary, considering that the central issue bordered on the governorship election in 2024.
