RETURN 22 GOVT VEHICLES UNDER YOUR CUSTODY WITHIN SEVEN DAYS – GOV OBASEKI TO EX-DEPUTY SHAIBU

The Godwin Obaseki-led Edo State Government has announced plans to retrieve over 20 vehicles still in the possession of erstwhile Deputy Governor, Comrade Phillip Shaibu.

This was made known in a public notice signed by the State Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Chris Osa Nehikhare, on Tuesday.

In the notice titled ‘Public Notice On Retrieval Of 22 Official Government Vehicles’, the Commissioner disclosed that Philip Shaibu has been given seven days to return the vehicles.

He stated that should the former Deputy Governor fail to obey the directive, security agencies have been put on alert to retrieve the vehicles.

The notice read: “The Edo State Government hereby issues this notice directing the retrieval of official government vehicles allocated to the Office of the Deputy Governor, Edo State, which are currently in the custody of the former Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

“The former Deputy Governor is by this notice given a seven-day ultimatum from the date of this publication to return the vehicles, as relevant security agencies have been put on alert to retrieve the vehicles after the expiration of the notice.”

Shaibu was impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly after he fell out with Governor Obaseki, allegedly over his gubernatorial ambition.He was later replaced by Marvellous Omobayo Godwins, a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP).

    PRO-WIKE LAWMAKERS SUBMIT RESOLUTION TO FUBARA, GIVE GOVERNOR SEVEN-DAY NOTICE

    PRO-WIKE LAWMAKERS SUBMIT RESOLUTIONS TO FUBARA, GIVE GOVERNOR SEVEN-DAY NOTICE The Rivers State House of Assembly under the Speakership of Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, at its 1st Legislative Sitting of the Second Session of the Tenth Assembly, on Monday, deliberated on the actions and inactions of Gov. Fubara which the averred are in breach of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as altered, extant laws and judgements of competent Courts of Law. The House called the attention of Gov. Fubara to the fact that he is yet to present the 2024 Appropriation Bill of the State to the duly constituted Rivers State House of Assembly in line with the provisions of Section 121 of the Constitution and in compliance with the judgement of Justice Omotosho of the Federal High Court. The House then resolved to give the Governor 7 days from the date of the Resolution to present the Appropriation Bill to the House. The House also drew the attention of Gov. Fubara to his breach of Section 192(2) of the Constitution wherein he swore-in purported members of the State Executive Council as Commissioners as well as a breach of Section 7 (1) of the Constitution and the Rivers State Local Government (Amendment) Law, 2023, wherein he again swore – in certain unelected individuals to manage the affairs of the 23 Local Government Councils in the State, in flagrant disobedience to the Constitution and judgement of Justice Omotosho of the Federal High Court. Commenting, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule decried a situation where the Governor in total disregard to the Constitution and judgements of Courts transacts Legislative business withthree suspended members of the Assembly, who parade themselves as House of Assembly of the State. Rt.Hon. Amaewhule stated that the purported screening and confirmation of Commissioner – nominees for appointment, Caretaker committees and other approvals by the three impostors have been declared null and void by by the recent Court of Appeal Judgement, adding that the Governor is and his co- travellers are in contempt of the orders of the court. He therefore called on Gov. Fubara to do the needful without further delay as these constitutional breaches constitute gross misconduct and abuse of office. Earlier, the Leader of the House, Hon. Major Jack had presented the judgement of the Court Appeal to the House. Also, today, the Chairman of the House Committee on Education presented the Report on the Rivers State Education (Return of Schools) (Amendment) Bill, 2024 to the House.

    SOME FIRST-TERM GOVERNORS FIGHTING THEIR GODFATHERS WHO MAY NOT RETURN IN 2027

    SOME FIRST-TIME GOVERNORS FIGHTING THEIR GOD-FATHERS WHO MAY NOT RETURN IN 2027 Nigerian politicians have begun to debate the 2027 general elections, with each working tirelessly to secure their space in the future. However, some governors who are in their first term may lose out in the scheme of the 2027 permutations as time goes by. This is due to the fact that many of these first-time governors began their first year in office with battles rather than building alliances and structures for their political careers. Some of the battles these governors are fighting have existing structures that determine election outcomes in their state. A careful analysis of the development showed that some governors began their first year in office fighting their godfathers without them having any political structure to fall back on, while others fought first-class monarchs, which may eventually turn the people against them. Some of the governors in this category are Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto, Siminalayi Fubara, Uba Sani, Hyacinth Alia, and Abba Kabir Yusuf, to mention a few. Below are the reasons the above-mentioned governors may not have their way to the governor’s offices in their states. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto of Sokoto state The governor of Sokoto state is one of the first-term governors in Nigeria who may not win in 2027 if tries to contest for the second term. Barely one year in office, the governor deposed about 15 emirs in the state for different offences, a development that may cost him his second-term aspiration. A few months later, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) raised the alarm that the governor was plotting to depose the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar. Though the government denied the allegation, a bill in the State House of Assembly passed the second reading. If the bill is passed into law, the Sultan would be stripped of some power, including the appointments of kingmakers and district heads, without the governor’s input. While this move may be considered constitutional because of the legislation it passed through, it can cost the governor his second term because Sokoto state and the position of the Sultan are religious sensitives. A political source in the state disclosed that the governor and his supporters never hid the impression of deposing the Sultan from their campaigns. The source stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) campaigned with a “new government, new sultan.” In an interview, Okanlawon Gaffar, a public commentator, called for respect for traditional stools in the country. He lamented: “We can’t say this is fair or not, the principle that has been exhibited is also the fact that our traditional system is now a mockery of its glory. This does not mean that our traditional system should be above the law principle. “However, it represents a different kind of leadership, where who gets to be in that position has been determined by culture and tradition.” With the growing trend, removing the Sultan could anger the majority of voters in the state, and the governor may not have the grace to win the next governorship election. Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara Governor Fubara of Rivers state is one of the first-time governors who may not secure re-election come 2027 due to his rift with his political godfather, Nyesom Wike, who is now the minister of the Federal Capital Territory. Fubara’s rift with Wike started barely three months into the beginning of his administration as Rivers governor, which was not considered fair enough by many political observers. However, there are insinuations that President Tinubu is supporting Fubara, which was why he appeared to have an edge above Wike. Aisha Yesufu, a public commentator, in a tweet, posited that Tinubu would rather ensure that the FCT minister was stripped of his power…
