Edo ex-deputy governor seeks suspension of contempt ruling

Omobayo Godwin, former deputy governor of Edo State, has asked a court to suspend a contempt ruling tied to his refusal to vacate office after a July 2024 judgment reinstated Philip Shaibu. The case centers on a disputed impeachment and a court-ordered restoration, with the ex-deputy governor now seeking procedural relief. The development is a domestic legal matter with no immediate market or geopolitical implications.
