Edo state Deputy Governor, Philip Shuaibu, has withdrawn the suit he filed at the Federal High Court to stop alleged plots by the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, to remove him from office.

Shaibu, in a circular dated September 5, 2023, stated that the decision to withdraw the suit came after a series of meetings involving himself, Obaseki, party leaders, traditional rulers, and the Archbishop, Benin Archdiocese of the Catholic Church.
