Deputy Governor of Edo State, Pius Odubu, has
refuted rumours that he is planning to kill his
boss and governor of the state, Adams Oshiomole.
In a statement released by his Chief Press
Secretary, Odubu said the rumor which is being
peddled by his political enemies, is aimed at
destroying the cordial relationship between him
and Oshiomole.
“As a devout Catholic, I will not do
anything that is unbecoming of a true
Christian in the name of politics. God
knows that I 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 in their blackmail, it is for God
alone to avenge. I will, by the special
grace of God, continue to disappoint the
dubious expectations of those who are bent
on driving a wedge between me and the
governor. It is my nature and character to
be loyal to those who God has set over me
because they are His 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 the governor, who I
revere and deeply appreciate.”the
