It was gathered that the new office is situated at no 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, close to the government house.

Shaibu, who hails from Edo North Senatorial District, intends to succeed Obaseki, an indigene of Benin in Edo South senatorial district, but the governor is pushing for a successor from Esanland in Edo Central senatorial district.
