Edo State Chief Judge, Justice Daniel Okungbowa has sworn in Omobayo Godwin, 37, as the new deputy governor of the state, hours after Philip Shaibu was impeached by the state house of assembly.

The 37-year-old who was beaming with a smile, was sworn in around 1:40 pm on Monday by the Chief Judge of Edo State Justice Daniel Okungbowa.

In a day that began with the impeachment of Shaibu as the state’s deputy governor, Omobayo’s inauguration at the Edo State Government House in Benin City marks a major milestone in the political history of the state.

After he took the oath of office, Omobayo who was dressed in a white kaftan and a red native cap to match, was greeted by a rousing crowd in one of the halls at the Government House.

Omobayo contested as Labour party candidate for Federal House of Representatives seat of Akoko-Edo Federal Constituency during the 2023 elections.
