The Edo State Government stated on Monday that Philip Shaibu is impersonating the deputy governor and should stop presenting himself as such.
A Federal High Court in Abuja reinstated Shaibu as the deputy governor of Edo State on July 17, three months after the Edo House of Assembly had impeached him.
Judge James Omotosho declared that Shaibu’s impeachment by the state assembly was illegal.
Omotosho ordered the Inspector General of Police to restore Shaibu’s security details and directed that his salaries and allowances be paid from April when he was removed from office.
The Edo Assembly has appealed the judgement and filed for a stay of its execution pending the determination of the appeal.
However, Shaibu, in an interview after his reinstatement, said the judgement that reinstated him was declarative and must be implemented before an appeal could be considered.
