In a swift turn of events, Omobayo Godwins steps into the role of Edo’s Deputy Governor following Philip Shaibu’s impeachment by the state’s House of Assembly.
With a radiant smile, the 37-year-old took the oath of office around 1:40 pm on Monday, administered by Chief Judge Justice Daniel Okungbowa at the Edo State Government House in Benin City.
As the day unfolded with Shaibu’s removal, Omobayo’s inauguration marks a pivotal moment in Edo’s political landscape. Dressed in a white kaftan and a striking red native cap, the new Deputy Governor was greeted with enthusiasm by a lively crowd in one of the Government House halls, symbolizing a new chapter in the state’s governance.
