Edo crisis worsens as Obaseki fires all Deputy Gov, Shaibu’s media aides
The Edo State Government has fired all the media aides attached to the Office of the Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.
The Deputy Governor has been ordered to henceforth request the Ministry of Communication and Orientation for media coverage of activities of his office.
IDOMA VOICE reports that this was made known in a statement on Monday by the Commissioner of Information, Chris Osa Nehikhare.
This directive followed the ugly and unfortunate incident that happened during the colloquium held to mark the 60th anniversary of Midwest Referendum held at the Sir Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub and Soundstage, where some journalists, who claimed to be the media crew of the Deputy Governor, attempted to force their way into the hall where the governor and other invited dignitaries were already seated.
This act was contrary to the accreditation protocol that had been established for media coverage of the event.
The orchestrated and stage-managed walkout and disruption is highly regrettable.
