JUST IN: Obaseki Disbands Deputy Governor’s Media Crew

Edo State Government has disbanded the media crew attached to the office of the Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

Gatekeepers News reports that this decision comes in the wake of an incident that occurred at the Sir Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub in Benin City, the state capital, on Monday.

The deputy governor stormed out of the venue of the programme after some of his aides were denied entry.

According to Chris Nehikhare, the Commissioner for Communication and Orientation in the state, the deputy governor’s media crew attempted to forcefully enter the hall where Governor Godwin Obaseki and other dignitaries were seated for the 60th anniversary of Midwest Referendum.

“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,” the statement partly read.

The government also directed the Ministry of Communication and Orientation to handle the media coverage of the activities of Shaibu’s office.
