The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shuaibu has moved his office to an area outside the vicinity of the Government House.
The new office is situated at 7 Dennis Osadebey Avenue, close to the Government House.
Sources close to the deputy governor told Channels Television that a letter was sent by the Head of Service to the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor instructing her to supervise the movement of civil servants and files to the new office.
It was also gathered that the new office is not habitable as there is no electricity, is waterlogged, and the office spaces are significantly small.
The relocation happened despite that Shuaibu withdrew the suit filed at the Federal High Court to stop alleged plots by his boss, Governor Godwin Obaseki, to remove him from office.
Shaibu had also issued many statements to emphasize his allegiance to Obaseki but that seems not be working at the moment.
