In a video address, Shaibu directed those who haven’t resumed work since his reinstatement to do so immediately or face consequences. He emphasized that the Federal High Court’s judgment, which reinstated him, meant his office was never vacant.
He warned banks against conducting transactions with his office without his explicit approval, citing illegality.
Shaibu also expressed sadness over the killing of a police officer attached to the Edo APC governorship candidate, which occurred upon his return to the state. He noted that suspects have been arrested.
Additionally, Shaibu revealed that he has requested the state governor’s approval to reinstate his aides but is still awaiting a response.
