Priests Sprinkle ‘Holy Water’ On Edo Deputy Governor At Office Dedication After Surviving Heat From Obaseki
The Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, on Tuesday dedicated his new office ahead of his resumption after surviving a cold war with his principal, Godwin Obaseki.
Obaseki had accused Shaibu of orchestrating a plan to kick him out of office.
The governor further said his deputy had become desperate to succeed him.
Over the past few weeks, Obaseki and Shaibu had been at loggerheads over issues pertaining to the alleged impeachment plot against the deputy governor until the latter tendered apology to Obaseki.
SaharaReporters reported on September 18 that the deputy governor was denied access to his office at the Government House in Benin.
Shaibu had arrived at the Government House but met the gate leading to his office under lock and key.
Two weeks ago, a letter said to be from the office of the Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa, was reported to have been sent to the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor directing Shuaibu to relocate to a new office.
The building used to be the office of the Edo State Public Procurement Office commissioned by a former governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole, on December 16, 2014.
In fact, the plaque stating the commissioning date is etched by the entrance of the building.
A sign board with the inscription ‘Office of the Deputy Governor’ was placed at the entrance.
Workers were seen renovating the building and the compound, while renovation was yet to commence at the security post.
However, a video of the dedication of the new office seen by SaharaReporters, showed six priests praying, blessing and spraying holy water inside and outside the premises as other voices could be heard singing hymns and other songs.
The deputy governor is also seen in the video released by TVC News kneeling down in his office table while the priest prayed and sprinkled holy water on his office table.
