Philip Shaibu finally reacts to his impeachment

Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, has been impeached by the State House of Assembly.

Shaibu, denouncing the move as illegal and unjust, vowed to fight against what he perceives as an attack on democracy itself.

The impeachment stemmed from allegations of misconduct, including the leaking of government secrets, which Shaibu denies.

The seven-man panel investigating the allegations proceeded with the case despite Shaibu or his counsel failing to appear for the defense.

Shaibu, in a shared video, condemned the impeachment, labeling it as a dangerous assault on democratic principles.

He attributed the move to political motives, particularly his ambition to contest in the upcoming state Governorship election.

The development has sparked reactions across Nigeria, with many calling for transparency and fairness in the political process.
