I have no plan to kill Oshiomhole, says Edo deputy governor
(Nigeria) Deputy Governor of Edo State, Dr Pius Odubu, has
denied an allegation that he sponsored native doctors to kill his boss, Governor
Adams Oshiomhole.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Kelly Odaro,
Odubu said the allegation was being peddled by mischief makers and blackmailers
bent on destroying his cordial relationship with his boss.
Odubu has also raised an alarm over an alleged plot by some
persons to circulate fliers round Benin City with a view to further destroy his
image and ignite crisis between him and the governor.
``As a practising Catholic I will not do anything that is
unbecoming of a true Christian in the name of politics. God knows that I have
never had any pact with any witch/native doctor to kill anyone or avenge for me
and I will never condescend to that extent as long as God lives. It is against
my faith.
``The Bible teaches that even when the innocent suffers and
mischief makers and traducers appear to triumph by their chief blackmail, it is
for God alone to avenge. I will, by special Grace of God, continue to
disappoint the dubious expectations of those who are bent on driving a wedge
between me and Oshiomhole.
``It is my nature and character to be loyal to those who God
has set over me because they are my instruments.
``At times like this, blackmailers are at their best but I
have decided to take solace in God who knows the hearts of men, trusting and
believing as always that God will vindicate the just. I wish to reiterate that
I have no rift with my boss who I revere and deeply appreciates,” Odubu stated.
