Edo Government Issues 7-Day Ultimatum to Philip Shaibu for Return of 22 Official Vehicles

The Edo State Government has issued a seven-day ultimatum to former Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu, demanding the return of 22 official vehicles. This directive follows Shaibu’s recent impeachment.

In an official notice, the government emphasized the urgency of retrieving the vehicles, which are considered state property. The administration stated that the vehicles are needed for ongoing government operations and must be returned promptly to ensure the continuity of public service.

The notice underscored the importance of accountability and proper asset management within the government. It also indicated that failure to comply with the ultimatum would result in legal action to recover the vehicles.

This development marks a significant move in the state’s efforts to ensure that public assets are duly accounted for and managed responsibly, reinforcing the government’s commitment to transparency and good governance.

Shaibu’s impeachment and the subsequent demand for the return of the vehicles highlight the ongoing political and administrative shifts within Edo State. The government is keen on upholding the principles of accountability and ensuring that all official assets are appropriately utilized for the benefit of the state.
