his leave just as I E equaired
on March twenty s adjoint till April s

150
00:09:56,679 –> 00:09:58,279
for the defendants in the suits to
appear before him to show course. Why

151
00:09:58,279 –> 00:10:03,399
shall loose prayer to hold the impeachment
procedents should not be granted. Since last

152
00:10:03,480 –> 00:10:05,639
year, the impeached Deputy governor had
been in the news from one case of

153
00:10:05,679 –> 00:10:09,799
intimidation to harassments alleged me by the
state governor. The deputy Governor of the

154
00:10:09,879 –> 00:10:13,759
doll State, Philips Shah, in
one of the television interviews granted last year,

155
00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:18,240
says that his ambition is personal and
he is one hundred percent loyal to

156
00:10:18,320 –> 00:10:20,960
Obaseki. He made this long during
a live interview with a Ris’s News,

157
00:10:22,200 –> 00:10:26,600
sharing recent in court ambition is personal, loyalty is given. I am one

158
00:10:26,679 –> 00:10:30,360
hundred percent loyal to my governor and
that is why he has I have been

159
00:10:30,399 –> 00:10:33,480
intimidated and harassed. As I speak
to you, I am relocated from government

160
00:10:33,559 –> 00:10:37,759
house. I didn’t go to court
to check the legality of that action.

161
00:10:37,399 –> 00:10:41,039
That is loyalty my office. For
the fourth or fifth month, no allocation

162
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:45,759
has been given to my office and
thus given. My aunts told me that

163
00:10:45,840 –> 00:10:48,080
the governor has also instructed that the
form they used to give to my vedico

164
00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:52,759
should no longer be given to the
verdical. So why all this I cannot

165
00:10:52,799 –> 00:10:56,799
be intimidated. During the political battle
last year, local media reported that the

166
00:10:56,879 –> 00:11:01,000
ad state governor governed Obasaki since the
former come on and Secretary of the State

Administration Government’s House, Bennett City, a

169
00:11:09,480 –> 00:11:15,279

170
00:11:15,639 –> 00:11:18,679

Insurance for boulklob of Berny. She is

171
00:11:18,720 –> 00:11:22,120
a sister in law to the Deputy
Governor Shaibu, who is at the moment

172
00:11:22,240 –> 00:11:26,039
invested in the battle of wits with
his principal Or Bassaki on the twenty twenty

173
00:11:26,080 –> 00:11:31,519
