Full list of impeached deputy governors since 1999 till date (Pictures)
On Monday, April 8, 2024, the Edo State Assembly voted unanimously to impeach Shaibu, citing allegations of misconduct as the reason.
According to Daily Trust, analysts point out that deputy governors’ conflicts with their superiors or perceived defiance often precede their removals from office, emphasising the urgency of clearly outlining the responsibilities of deputy governors in the constitution and revising impeachment protocols.
Shaibu, who reacted to his removal, said he was unjustly impeached and that the processes of his removal were not statutory.
He said, “I denounce in the strongest term the illegal impeachment by the Edo State House of Assembly over baseless charges. This is not just an attack on me as an individual but on the democracy that we hold dear.”
Shaibu has fallen prey to these constitutional gaps, joining a list of deputy governors dismissed from office since 1999.

Labour Party Crisis: Court Affirms Abure as the national chairman
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, declared Julius Abure as the substantive national Chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
Justice Emeka Nwite had, in a judgement affirmed the Abure-led leadership and the March 2024 Nnewi convention of the party that produced the national leadership of the party.
The court further ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise Abure as the legitimate chairman, overriding the Commission’s earlier stance that Abure’s leadership was invalid.
According to the Judge, “I am of the view that and so hold that the basis of these cogent verifiable documents, the defendants attempt to impeach the validity of the leadership of the plaintiff fails.

Rivers crisis deepens as Wike camp heads for court as Fubara swears in LG chairmen
The Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress factions on Sunday rejected the conduct and outcome of the local government election, stating that no election was held in the state on Saturday.
The Rivers PDP loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, described the poll as an exercise in futility, vowing to challenge it in court.
