Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki has sworn-in Omobayo Marvellous Godwins as the new deputy governor of the state.<\/p>\n

Omobayo replaced Philip Shaibu, who was earlier impeached by the State House of Assembly on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Shaibu was impeached by the House of Assembly after the adoption of the report of the Justice S. A. Omonua (rtd)-led impeachment panel.<\/p>\n

The panel was set up by the Chief Judge of Edo State to investigate allegations of misconduct and perjury against Shaibu.<\/p>\n

Eighteen out of the 20 lawmakers that attended the plenary on Monday, April 8, 2024 voted in favour of the impeachment while one voted against.<\/p>\n

In the report, the seven-man panel found the former deputy governor guilty of leaking government official secrets. But he was not found guilty of the allegation of perjury.<\/p>\n

Following the impeachment, Obaseki immediately swore-in Omobayo to replace Shaibu.<\/p>\n

Omobayo hails from Akoko-Edo Local Government Area in the same Edo North Senatorial District, where the impeached deputy governor came from.<\/p>\n

Born July 19, 1986, Omobayo is said to be a \u201cseasoned engineer with a proven track record of progressive professional experience in the oil and gas sector\u201d.<\/p>\n

His profile showed that he has a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Msc in Public Administration from the University of Benin, UNIBEN.<\/p>\n

He is a registered member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE, and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, COREN.<\/p>\n

He serves as a Senior Maintenance Engineer in Dresser Wayne West Africa Limited, cutting his professional teeth in the operations in the South South area.<\/p>\n

The new deputy governor is said to be active in politics in his local government area.<\/p>\n
