According to Nehikhare, the government acknowledged the presence of unverified declarations about these designations on social media, which he described as bogus. He pointed fingers at Philip Shaibu, who had been ousted from his position of Deputy Governor and alleged that he was endeavoring to stir up turmoil in the state.
Nehikhare affirmed the government’s dedication to upholding order and stressed that Omobayo Marvellous Godwins is still rightfully serving as Deputy Governor of Edo State.
He advised the public to dismiss any untrue claims and carry on with their regular routines without worry.
