By Babatunde Solanke

The rift between Edo State Governor , Godwin Obaseki and  Deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu,  seems to escalating on daily basis considering the latest development where the latter has been denied access to his office at the Government House in Benin, the state capital.

According to The Punch Online report, the gate leading to the deputy governor office was locked with no one around to open the door for him.

 “The Deputy Governor was here this morning (Monday) the gate leading to his office was locked and there was no one to open it for him. I think his office has also been shut because of the new office he was told to move to outside the government house.

“He waited for almost 30 minutes before he left. I don’t know if he had gone to his new office but he was not allowed to move into the one in the government house,” the medium quoted one source to have said.
