According to him, the judgement of the Federal High Court that reinstated him indicated that his office has never been vacant.
He also disclosed that he was saddened by the killing of a police officer attached to the Edo APC governorship candidate for the September 21 election.
The incident happened on Shaibu’s return to Edo State following the delivery of the court judgment. The reinstated deputy governor said that he was informed that some suspects had been arrested.
Shaibu said he had, upon his return to office, requested the state governor’s approval for the reinstatement of his aides but has still not received a response to this formal request.
