Governor Godwin Obaseki also directed Shaibu to henceforth request for media coverage of his activities from the Ministry of Communication and Orientation.
According
to report, the Edo State Government has disbanded the media crew attached to
the Office of the Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.
Obaseki
stated this in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Chris
Osa Nehikhare on Monday.
“This
directive followed the unfortunate incident that happened during the colloquium
held to mark the 60th anniversary of Midwest Referendum, where some
journalists, who claimed to be the media crew of the Deputy Governor, attempted
to force their way into the hall where the Governor and other dignitaries were
already seated.
“This act
was against the accreditation protocol that had been established for the event
coverage.
“The
orchestrated and stage-managed walkout and disruption is highly regrettable,”
he said.
