Mr Shaibu described his removal from office as a “dangerous descent into dictatorship and threat to democracy”, adding that it was a plot “hatched because of his governorship ambition.” Mr Shaibu, in his first reaction to the development, said the lawmakers betrayed the trust of the Edo people. “We cannot allow tyranny and oppression to take root in our society. We must resist the forces that seek to undermine our freedom and trample upon our rights.

Governor Obaseki, who preferred a banker, Asue Ighodalo, as his successor, described his former deputy as being “overambitious”.
