AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
There was a mild drama at the 32nd anniversary of Edo State, held at the New Festival Hall, Government House, Benin City, Edo State, when a security aide to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, stopped his deputy, Philip Shaibu, from accessing his principal during the service.
Photos shared online show a security operative blocking Shaibu from going to meet Obaseki during the event.
This is coming after weeks of dispute between the governor and his deputy. The deputy had gone to a Federal High Court in Abuja and obtained an injunction to stop the governor and state assembly from plots to impeach him.
The action triggered massive reactions from social media users
Some reactions are shown below:
Kingsley Nzemechi said, “Extremely petty from the Governor. It’s rather unfortunate the way our leaders abuse power that is transient.”
Daina Anyam said, “When he (Gov.Obaseki ) was interviewed on national TV,he said there’s know issue between him and his deputy. I laugh in Tiv…….”.
Martins Kpabari said, “Very petty behaviour on the part of the governor.The Deputy governor is not an Employee of the governor. They were both elected. The privileges of the Deputy are Constitutionally guaranteed. They are not subject to the Whims and Caprices of the governor. We personalise public office a lot in this Country.
Tribal Chiev said, “If that’s is the case Obaseki is betraying Shaibu, he stood firm with him in 2020 despite battle from all sides. Don’t trust any human, your best friend and close ally can turn overnight to something else.”
Paul Parazzi said, “Loyalty means a lot in governance. And also sticking to one political platform is another substance in politics. Defecting from here to there reduces your value too. Now, tell me, who will he run to in all of these travails?”.
Mike Kunle said ” I have been seeing betrãyáls, this of Obaseki is top-notch, kilode,”
Jerry Smaile said, “Oshiomole will be laughing in one corner😂”
MC Teekay said, ” Nawa oo. Eventually, Mr Gov and Mr Deputy Gov will settle their differences buh na the security aide will be the victim or the loser. No be every work your Oga send you, you go carry out. I feel he should have used common sense to dodge the assignment. Just my opinion shaaa.”
