Musa Ebomhiana, Chief Press Secretary to Edo State Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, has condemned Commissioner Chris Nehikhare’s description of Shaibu as an imposter. Ebomhiana called the statement an affront to the judiciary and a violation of a valid court order.
He argued that Nehikhare’s claim insults the Edo people who voted for Shaibu and Governor GodwinObaseki in 2020. Ebomhiana emphasized that Marvellous Omobayo, imposed by Obaseki, is the actual imposter, never having been elected by the people.
The aide criticized Obaseki’s disregard for judicial pronouncements, citing his boastful claims that Omobayo remains his deputy until the end of his term. Ebomhiana accused the governor of behaving like a law unto himself, particularly since the July 17 court judgment reinstating Shaibu.”
