He clarified that the Federal High Court’s ruling on his reinstatement confirmed that his office has never been officially vacant.
Shaibu expressed his sorrow over the recent killing of a police officer assigned to the APC governorship candidate for the September 21 election, an incident that occurred shortly after his return to Edo State following the court judgment. He noted that some suspects have been apprehended in connection with the case.
Additionally, Shaibu revealed that he has requested the state governor’s approval to reinstate his aides but has yet to receive a response to his formal request.
