The petition was made by the Edo State deputy governor, Philip Shuaibu.
The petition claimed that the APC National Chairman had consistently breached the peace of Edo State by ignoring lawful orders of constituted authorities.
It has been common knowledge that Obaseki and Oshiomhole have been at loggerheads for a while with the current Governor claiming that the APC national chairman was attempting to upset the state by being a Godfather.
