Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has said he is worried about a new scheme to remove him from office.<\/p>\n

He said the scheme was intensified after he was elected as a factional candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the upcoming governorship election.<\/p>\n

Shaibu, the deputy governor of the state, said this at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The returning officer in the PDP governorship primary and Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal had on Thursday announced Asue Ighodalo as the winner of the delegate election, having polled a total of 577 votes.<\/p>\n

However, in the parallel primaries that took place at the Benin residence of the Deputy Governor, the returning officer, Bartholomew Moses, declared Shaibu the winner, saying he won \u201cwith over 300 votes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven as we speak, my team has been calling me that, \u2018Look at what these people are doing. They are saying they are going to impeach you; that you have gotten too far.\u2019 They are threatening to impeach me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I said, well, if fighting for my rights and all of us collectively fighting for my rights as in the constitution, triggers impeachment, so be it, because fighting for my rights and saying I must contest the election is my constitutional rights and cannot be taken by anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if constitutional right is why they will now trigger impeachment, the courts are there; they will interpret it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
