Philip Shaibu, on Monday formally resumed official duty as the number two citizen of the state with the inspection of some ongoing projects.Justice Omotosho had, while reinstating the deputy governor, in a suit between him (Shaibu), Edo Government and the State House of Assembly averred that the office of the deputy governor was ab initio not vacate.
Following the development, Shaibu resumed official duty with the inspection of the ongoing projects awarded by the state government.Speaking with newsmen shortly after interaction with the contractors handling the projects, Shaibu insisted that he had since resumed duties following his reinstatement by Justice Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
According to him, “the issue of reinstatement should be a thing of the past. I don’t think we should be talking about it.
“Judgement has been made. We should move forward. The issue is if I can work with Obaseki. Can I work with him? I can work with him but he cannot work with me.
“The office of the Deputy Governor is not an office under Obaseki. It’s an office created by the Constitution. You should understand the difference between the office of the Governor and the office of the Deputy Governor and the constitutionality of the office.
