My Position On Impeachment Process Against Philip Shaibu – Oshiomhole
Former governor of Edo State, Senator Adams Oshiomhole has declared that the notion that he can influence the actions of All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers, should there be any impeachment exercise in the Edo State House of Assembly, is simply preposterous.
This was as he also said categorically that he did not at any time whatsoever, engaged in discussions with Governor Godwin Obaseki regarding plans to impeach his deputy.
Oshiomhole in a statement by his senior legislative aide, Hon. Victor Oshioke, said that as the apex leader of the APC in Edo State, he is solely focused on fostering goodwill between the people of Edo State and the APC, with the goal of winning the upcoming governorship election and returning the state to a path of progress under an APC government.
Senator Oshiomhole also said that it was important to state that matters of impeachment are the sole responsibilities of the Edo State House of Assembly and the Edo State Judiciary, stressing that political parties have no constitutional role to play in any impeachment process.
In his words; “Therefore, the notion that Senator Adams Oshiomhole can influence the actions of APC lawmakers, should there be any impeachment exercise in the Edo State House of Assembly is simply preposterous.
“Senator Oshiomhole has not and will not engage in any deals with Governor Obaseki on this or any other political issue.
“As we begin the process leading to the September 2024 governorship election in our beloved State, let us all strive for truthful and responsible discourse in our political environment,” he said.
