The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu stated on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday; “As Deputy Governor of Edo State, I disassociate myself and my Office from Governor Godwin Obaseki’s purported inauguration of new Chairman and Members of the Edo State Civil Service Commission, with barely 27 days left in our tenure.”
He added; “It is appalling that Governor Obaseki, who failed to utilize the last Civil Service Commission, is now inaugurating a new one. Under his watch, private consultants have been handling activities that naturally fall within the Commission’s purview, such as appointments into the state civil and public service.”
The Deputy Governor stated further; “What is even more shocking is the discovery that the individual reportedly screened by the Edo State House of Assembly for the Chairman position lacks the basic qualifications and does not even meet the criteria for the role. This raises serious questions about the integrity of the process.”
He noted; “I am equally alarmed by Mr. Governor’s clandestine appointments into the state civil and public service, made hastily after the last election, with reports indicating backdated appointments. I urge the purported appointees to exercise extreme caution, as these appointments are only but a trap.”
The recent statement by the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu on his verified Facebook page has generated a lot of reactions from his fans and numerous followers on the social media platform.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
