In an unprecedented move, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has named Omobayo Godwin, a 38-year-old engineer, as the new deputy governor, poised for imminent inauguration.
The recent appointment follows the ousting of former deputy governor, Philip Shaibu, by the state’s House of Assembly earlier this week. A panel convened to oversee Shaibu’s impeachment cited breaches of confidentiality regarding the state’s governmental affairs as grounds for his dismissal.
Amidst political shifts, Governor Godwin Obaseki takes a bold step in appointing a youthful figure to the position of deputy governor.
Governor Obaseki’s decision to nominate Omobayo Godwin reflects a strategic move towards rejuvenating leadership within Edo State.
