In the new list, two members of the panel, Violet Aigbokhaebo and Boniface Edegbai, both professors, were dropped. Their replacements are President Aigbokhian and Mariam Ilavbare. PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday reported that the Edo State Assembly passed a resolution, asking the chief judge to set up the committee to probe the allegations against Mr Shaibu.
The house, according to the speaker, resorted to substituted service because of the deputy governor’s alleged evasion of service. Mr Shaibu wants to succeed Mr Obaseki as governor of the state in the forthcoming 21 September election but Mr Obaseki, who prefers another person, Asue Ighodalo as his successor, described his deputy as being “overambitious.”
