The case filed by Phillip Shaibu challenging his impeachment as Edo Deputy Governor has been adjourned to June 28 by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Originally scheduled for June 3, the hearing was postponed due to a labor strike and the absence of some defendants. Through his suit, Shaibu aims to have his impeachment declared as unlawful, illegal, unconstitutional, null, and void.
The court has also allowed the Speaker and the new Deputy Governor to be included as defendants in the case. Justice James Kolawole Omotoso, the presiding judge, cautioned against further delays and mandated that any objections must be raised alongside the substantive matter.
The case will resume later in June, and all parties involved are expected to adhere to the court’s directives to ensure a fair and timely judicial process.
