his Mentor in State, Philip Schahu
to continue his constitutional duties as the Low

3
00:00:07,080 –> 00:00:10,759
States Deputy Governor, willing that his

00:00:10,759 –> 00:00:15,039
illegal and politically motivated. Justice Jerms

the Do State House of Assembly felled
to comply with due process in carrying out

8
00:00:26,760 –> 00:00:30,920
impeachment on him. Justice on motorshow
also says aside the appointment of the new

9
00:00:30,920 –> 00:00:34,880
Deputy Governor who was appointed by the
Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki to replace

10
00:00:34,960 –> 00:00:38,640
Chaihu, The court held that the
allegation on which the House of Assembly bears

11
00:00:38,679 –> 00:00:43,200
the impeachment procedents was untenable in law
and did not constitute gross misconduct. He

12
00:00:43,320 –> 00:00:46,960
ordered the Inspector General of Police to
provide him with needed security to enable him

13
00:00:46,960 –> 00:00:49,920
to resume office and perform the functions
of the office until the end of his

14
00:00:49,960 –> 00:00:54,079
tailium. Justice Jams of Motor show
held at the removal of the plentiff Chahu

15
00:00:54,119 –> 00:00:58,119
from office as Deputy Governor of the
Dostates and the subsequent appointment of Omabaiyo Godlins

16
00:00:58,119 –> 00:01:02,240
as his replacement by the Governor of
Thedostate was illegal, unconstitutional, non en

17
00:01:02,320 –> 00:01:06,480
void. Reports from news reporters that
covered the court proceeded indicated that the Court

18
00:01:06,480 –> 00:01:08,280
held there was a breach of the
provisions of the Prosidian led out in section

19
00:01:08,359 –> 00:01:11,920
one hundred and eighty eight one to
nine in the way and manner the impeachment

20
00:01:11,959 –> 00:01:17,040
process was conducted. The Court noted
that the Ulster claws in section one hundred

21
00:01:17,079 –> 00:01:21,359
and eighty eight ten limiting the jurisdiction
is not a stand alone provision. The

22
00:01:21,400 –> 00:01:23,840
court referred to the decision of the
Nigerian Supreme Court in Inner Countum Vusals Are

23
00:01:23,840 –> 00:01:27,920
Delicate two thousand and seven. Justice
on matter show held that the impeachment was

24
00:01:27,959 –> 00:01:33,200
politically motivated because of Shaihu’s aspiration to
contest the office of governor of the Door

25
00:01:33,239 –> 00:01:38,040
State. The Court therefore ordered the
first defendant, the Inspector General of Police,

26
00:01:38,040 –> 00:01:41,719
to immediately restore the security of the
plaintiff Chaihu as Deputy Governor of the

27
00:01:41,799 –> 00:01:46,040
Door State. The judgment has thrown
supporters of Felis Chaihu into mood of celebrations,

28
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:48,640
with some of the supporters seen in
the Door North and parts of Venice

29
00:01:48,640 –> 00:01:52,319
City dancing on the streets. Some
of the supporters of Chaihu were also seen

00:01:52,359 –> 00:01:56,599
within the court premises of were just
celebrating the court verdict. Earlier in April

31
00:01:56,760 –> 00:01:59,879

that the the Door States House of Ours

32
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:02,920
only has impeached the states Deputy Governor, Philip Schaibu over a court athederlic file

33
00:02:02,959 –> 00:02:07,319
before a Federal High Court, citing
in Abuja, the Endos State House of

34
00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:09,919
Assembly had started before the Panel of
Investigation set up by the state Chief Judge

35
00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:14,360
that the apederlic filed by Philis Shaud, who contained information about the Adol States

36
00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:16,840
Executive Council meeting which twenty two out
of the twenty four lonkers in the Adol

37
00:02:16,879 –> 00:02:22,560
State House of Assembly considered such as
leaking official secrets. Philip Shaivu had approached

38
00:02:22,560 –> 00:02:24,439
Federal High Court in Abuja in twenty
twenty three, praying the court to stop

39
00:02:24,479 –> 00:02:29,719
the conspiracy applaud by the state Governor
Governing Obaseki and members of the State Assembly

40
00:02:29,759 –> 00:02:32,159
to impeach him from office over his
political ambition to contest as govermnor in the

41
00:02:32,199 –> 00:02:37,360
forecoming governorship election in the state.
Philip Shaidhu, in a video press released

42
00:02:37,360 –> 00:02:42,159
after his impeachment, described his impeachment
by the Loneicas as illegal and that the

43
00:02:42,199 –> 00:02:46,280
action of the Lornkas is affirt to
democratic practice in the state. The Lornakas

44
00:02:46,319 –> 00:02:50,120
carried out the impeachment despite an order
of court citing in Abuja asking the Assembly

45
00:02:50,159 –> 00:02:53,919
to stop action. It was gathered
that the Assembly began setting at nine forty

46
00:02:53,919 –> 00:02:57,039
one am and voted for the impeachment
of the Deputy governor by a vote of

47
00:02:57,080 –> 00:03:00,520
eating against one who voted against one
of the twenty members presents, with the

48
00:03:00,520 –> 00:03:05,280
Speaker expected to give the deciding vote
in case of the tie. Shaihu,

00:03:05,479 –> 00:03:07,800
according to retire Justice student On Monue
led seven month panel sis off by the

50
00:03:07,879 –> 00:03:13,159
Chief George C. J of the
State just As Daniel Okabua to investigate the

51
00:03:13,199 –> 00:03:16,840
allegation of grossmus conduct leveled against the
Deputy governor submitted that the Deputy Governor was

52
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:21,960
guilty of disclosure of official secret.
In recent times, there was drama in

53
00:03:21,960 –> 00:03:25,879
the state ruling political party, People’s
Democratic Party PDP primary election to fill the

54
00:03:25,919 –> 00:03:30,960

a parallel primary election conducted at the location

56
00:03:36,599 –> 00:03:39,520
in Benin City. Ashley Goudalho,
important in the pre fourth choice of government,

57
00:03:39,560 –> 00:03:44,280
Godwin Obaseki, was also announced miner
of another PDP primary exercise which took

58
00:03:44,319 –> 00:03:46,960
place at the Summer of Bimbubia Stadium
in Benin City. The Ado State Capital

59
00:03:47,479 –> 00:03:52,439
Federal I Court sitting in Abuja had
recently declared the election of Ashwi Gudulhu as

60
00:03:52,439 –> 00:03:55,639
p VP candidate as illegal, non
and void, not aside the Panel of

61
00:03:55,719 –> 00:04:00,080
Investigation, however, and so generating
the impeached deputy governor on the allegation of

62
00:04:00,080 –> 00:04:03,680
Pejuri as it was not made up. That is problem. It will be

63
00:04:03,719 –> 00:04:08,879
recalled that on April fourth, Philip
Shaidhu objected to the seven member Investigative Funel

64
00:04:08,919 –> 00:04:13,199
proceeding with his planned impeachment, urging
them to adhere to an interlocutory injunction reached

65
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:16,040
by a Federal High Court in Abuja. On April fifth, the Deputy governor

66
00:04:16,079 –> 00:04:19,759
failed to appear before the seven month
panel god prote allegations of Pejuri and leaking

67
00:04:19,800 –> 00:04:25,199
of the government’s secrets against him.
Following the impeachment of Phelix Shaihu, Governor

68
00:04:25,240 –> 00:04:30,279
Obaseki swiftly moved to fill the vacancy
by appointing Omabayomamulu’s Godwin in thirty seven year

69
00:04:30,319 –> 00:04:33,560
old electrical electronics engineer will experience in

74
00:04:51,639 –> 00:04:56,560
of office, elhal just taken is
my legal Absastam’s speech. It defines the

75
00:04:56,639 –> 00:05:00,600
legal limits that el can or cannot
exceed while in office. Yes, legal

76
00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:03,920
ceremony. It is imperative that all
publicly experts might profound gratitude to our respective

77
00:05:03,959 –> 00:05:09,480
executive governor, his excellency, Governor
Godwin of Basseki and the leadership of our

78
00:05:09,519 –> 00:05:13,680
great party, the People’s Democratic Party. After all the very painful and taught

79
00:05:13,759 –> 00:05:16,399
provoking destructions of the past few months, our governor is determined to finish his

80
00:05:16,399 –> 00:05:20,160
second term very strong. From his
dialog with me, it is clear that

81
00:05:20,199 –> 00:05:24,800
he is very determined to be quit
a legacy of peace, unity, crocress

82
00:05:24,839 –> 00:05:28,759
and visible development to a doll state, in legacy that the next pev peeraging

83
00:05:28,839 –> 00:05:31,839
will find exciting to probably build UPO
and maintain the leadership position Ado has achieved

84
00:05:31,839 –> 00:05:36,000
over time in the Committee of States
in Nigeria born July nineteenth, nineteen eighty

85
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:40,439
six, all over your hills from
Acoco Edoloco government area of the state.

86
00:05:41,040 –> 00:05:45,439
Meanwhile, the Ador State House of
Assembly had explanned how the state’s deputy Governor,

87
00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:49,360
Philip Shaimu allegedly lived the government’s secrets
and committed pejeri, which it said

88
00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:55,839
were impeachable offenses. The Assembly,
represented by its deputy Clerk Joo Ohaifa,

89
00:05:56,040 –> 00:05:59,680
statned its case at the inaugurating setting
of the seven month Pandel provin Shaidu.

90
00:06:00,160 –> 00:06:03,319
The panel headed by retired Justice esty
Omunua, was raised by the Ado State

91
00:06:03,399 –> 00:06:08,639
Chief George Justice Daniel Okumbowa at the
instance of the State Assembly, which on

92
00:06:08,680 –> 00:06:14,000
March fifth commenced impeachment proceedings against the
deputy government. The Assembly, according to

93
00:06:14,040 –> 00:06:17,360
Pont newspaper, said the impeachment proceedings
were based on the petition accusing Shadhu of

94
00:06:17,360 –> 00:06:21,319
peaturi and leaking the government’s secrets.
The impeachment is believed to be the latest

95
00:06:21,319 –> 00:06:26,839
development in the rift between Shaihou and
his principal, Governor Godwin Obasseki. There

96
00:06:26,839 –> 00:06:30,480
have been an uneasy comp between the
deputy governor and his principal since last year

97
00:06:30,519 –> 00:06:33,759
when Chahu declared his interests to join
this year’s Endo governorship race. Presenting the

98
00:06:33,759 –> 00:06:38,759
Assembly case, the Deputy Clerk said
Shadhoo leaked the steath secrets in the affidality

99
00:06:38,759 –> 00:06:42,920
he found in support of an Abunjayo
suit. He said Shahoo rendered documents relating

100
00:06:42,959 –> 00:06:46,519
to the State Executive Council’s meeting.
According to Ohaifa, Shaihuva related the olds

101
00:06:46,519 –> 00:06:49,720
of secretsy he took and act contrary
to the provisions of Scarul seven of the

102
00:06:49,800 –> 00:06:55,439
nineteen ninety nine Constitution. The panel, after hearing the assembliese case, adjoined

103
00:06:55,480 –> 00:06:59,519
for Shahu to enter his defense.
Earlier at the proceedings, Shahu’s lawyer,

104
00:06:59,639 –> 00:07:03,120
Professor away In our La Sam had
excused himself from the hearing after the panel

105
00:07:03,160 –> 00:07:08,399
declying his application to suspend the proceedings. Our Ela, in his submission,

106
00:07:08,680 –> 00:07:12,199
orged the panel to hold the impeachment
proceedings spending the outcome of the south filed

107
00:07:12,199 –> 00:07:15,879
by Chau before the Federal High Court
in Abuja. Our latter told the panel

108
00:07:15,920 –> 00:07:18,000
that the Abuja court had fixed everys
for parties in the suit to appear to

109
00:07:18,040 –> 00:07:21,680
show course why it should not grant
Shadhoo’s prayer for an interlocutory injunction to hold

110
00:07:21,680 –> 00:07:26,600
the impeachment proceedings. But opposing the
prayer, the Deputy Club said, by

111
00:07:26,680 –> 00:07:30,120
virtue of section one hundred and eighty
eight ten of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution,

112
00:07:30,399 –> 00:07:33,360
no court had the rights to prevent
the House of Assembly or the seven

113
00:07:33,399 –> 00:07:38,120
month Panel from performing their constitutional duties. Oh off, he said cha whose

114
00:07:38,160 –> 00:07:41,480
layer must convinced the panel that the
provision of the constitution had been outed for

115
00:07:41,480 –> 00:07:45,240
the panel to sustain his arguments.
In his ruling, the panel chairman,

116
00:07:45,560 –> 00:07:48,759
Justice from Moundua, agreed with Ohiafi. The retired judge noted that the invitation

117
00:07:48,879 –> 00:07:53,279
for the parties to show course was
not an order to hold the impeachment proceedings.

118
00:07:53,680 –> 00:07:56,279
Justice on the who has said the
panel would continue with the proceedings and

119
00:07:56,360 –> 00:07:59,800
ask the House of Assembly to state
its case. Responding to the ruling,

120
00:08:00,040 –> 00:08:03,480
Auriel told the panel that his clients
would not be able to continue to participate

121
00:08:03,519 –> 00:08:07,639
in the investigation and solve the panel’s
promission to be excused. When asked whether

122
00:08:07,680 –> 00:08:09,680
he was wagging his rights to the
friend his clients, the Sun answered in

123
00:08:09,720 –> 00:08:13,319
the negative, stressing that parties must
obey the court decision and that they should

124
00:08:13,319 –> 00:08:18,360
appear before it to showcase prop Further, if he was arresting the ruling of

125
00:08:18,360 –> 00:08:20,600
the panel, our La answered again
in the negative and reiterated the need to

126
00:08:20,600 –> 00:08:24,480
obey the court, which would be
sitting on Monday, April s twenty twenty

127
00:08:24,480 –> 00:08:28,040
four. The Federal High Court in
Abuja on Monday resumed sitting in the loss

128
00:08:28,040 –> 00:08:31,839
of fire by they impeached the Those
States Deputy Governor Philip Shaidu, challenging the

129
00:08:31,879 –> 00:08:35,639
moved by the Statehouse of Assembly to
impeach him. The sa N subsequently took

130
00:08:35,679 –> 00:08:39,879
his leave, just as I E. Equal had On March twenty Els adjointed

131
00:08:39,879 –> 00:08:41,799
till April s’s for the defendants in
the suits to appear before him to show

132
00:08:41,840 –> 00:08:46,000
course why shadoose prayer to hold the
impeachment proceedents should not be granted. Since

133
00:08:46,080 –> 00:08:50,480
last year, the impeached deputy governor
had been in the news from one case

134
00:08:50,480 –> 00:08:54,679
of intimidation to harassments allegedly by the
state governor. The neguty governor of the

135
00:08:54,759 –> 00:08:58,679
those states Finnish Shaidun, in one
of the television interviews granted last year,

136
00:08:58,919 –> 00:09:01,759
said that his ambition is personal and
he is one hundred percent loyal to Obaseki.

137
00:09:03,200 –> 00:09:05,360
He made this long during a live
interview with a Rised News. Shain

138
00:09:05,559 –> 00:09:09,360
said, in court, ambition is
personal, loyalty is given. I am

139
00:09:09,399 –> 00:09:13,039
one hundred percent loyal to my governor
and that is why he has I have

140
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:18,960
been intimidated and harrast as I speak
to you. I am relocated from government

141
00:09:18,080 –> 00:09:22,279
house. I didn’t go to court
to check the legality of that action.

142
00:09:22,919 –> 00:09:26,799
That is loyalty. My office for
the fourth or fifth month no allocation has

143
00:09:26,840 –> 00:09:30,279
been given to my office and thus
give name. My aunt told me that

144
00:09:30,360 –> 00:09:33,679
the governor has also instructed that the
forman they used to give to my verdicook

145
00:09:33,679 –> 00:09:37,279
should no longer be given to the
verdico. So why all this I cannot

146
00:09:37,320 –> 00:09:41,279
be intimidated. During the political battle
last year, local Vinier reported that the

147
00:09:41,440 –> 00:09:45,879
Low State Governor, Governin Obaseki sat
the former Permanent Secretary of the State Sports

148
00:09:45,919 –> 00:09:50,600
Commission, Missus Savina Chickery. Recall
that Obasaki held in August re deployed Chickeny

149
00:09:50,639 –> 00:09:54,399
from the Sports condition to Central Administration
Government House then in city and we filmed
