On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, a significant political transition took place in Edo State as former Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu met with his successor, Dennis Idahosa, at the Edo State Government House. The meeting marked the formal handover of duties between the two leaders.

Philip Shaibu, who had a public fallout with former Governor Godwin Obaseki, showed Dennis Idahosa around the Deputy Governor’s office, giving him a tour of the facilities. This handover follows Idahosa’s swearing-in as the new Deputy Governor of Edo State. Before this role, Idahosa served as a member of the House of Representatives.

This event marks a fresh start in Edo State’s leadership, with the focus now on the future direction of the state under the new deputy governor.
