Edo Assembly to publish Shaibu’s impeachment notice in newspapers

The Edo State House of Assembly has said it will publish the impeachment notice on Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, in national newspapers.

It said the decision followed Shaibu’s failure to acknowledge receipt of the notice sent through the Clerk of the House.

the Assembly had last Wednesday issued an impeachment notice on the deputy governor with a seven-day ultimatum to respond.

The Speaker of the House, Blessing Agbebaku, who gave the order at a plenary on Tuesday, said the directive was to ensure all grounds are explored to adequately serve the impeachment notice to elicit his response within the seven-day ultimatum given by the House.

He ordered that the notice should be published in the State-owned Nigerian Observer and other national dailies.
