Oshiomhole's Deputy Responds to Allegations of a Diabolic Attempt to Kill the Governor

 

Deputy Governor of Edo State, Dr. Pius Odubu, has said that he did not sign any pact with any witch doctor or native doctor to kill his boss, Governor Adams Oshiomhole or any other persons, The Nation reports.

Dr. Odubu insisted he has no rift with Governor Oshiomhole. A newspaper report had quoted the Governor Oshiomhole of stating that he was informed that his Deputy plots to kill him through diabolical machination.

Dr. Odubu in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Kelly Odaro, said it was against his Catholic faith to make pact with native doctors to avenge for him and would never condescend to that level.

He noted that it was for God to avenge even when the innocent suffers and mischief makers appeared to triumph.

According to the statement, “The Deputy Governor will by the grace of God continue to disappoint the dubious expectations of those who are bent on driving a wedge between him and the Comrade Governor.

“It is his nature and character to be loyal to those who God has set over him because they are his instrument. At times like this, blackmailers are at their best.

“The Deputy Governor has decided to take solace in God who knows the hearts of men, trusting and believing as always that God will vindicate the just.”
