Philip Shaibu, the reinstated Deputy Governor of Edo State, has vowed on Friday to remain in office until November 11 when the governorship election is scheduled.
Shaibu announced his intention to resume his duties today after an Abuja Federal High Court reaffirmed his position.
He made this statement during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show.
The embattled deputy governor accused Governor Godwin Obaseki of withholding his salary for the past year despite his status as the elected deputy governor.
According to Shaibu: “I’m elected deputy governor of this state and the court has reaffirmed it. I will be deputy governor till November eleven, even when the governor has not paid. He has not paid for the last one year.
“I’m a law abiding citizen and I will go to the office this morning, if they want to stop me, they should.
“I will not do anything that would lead to the loss of life. I have been maintaining peace, the office of the deputy governor must be given it’s rightful respect.
“I will resume in the office and face my work, if he allows me to see him, I will and if not; I will face my work.”
