The Deputy Governor of Edo state, Dr Pius Odubu, has in a statement denied allegations made by the Edo State Governor that he was trying to kill him in order to fill his office as the Governor of the State.
In the statement released by the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, Mr Kelly Odaro, the Deputy governor maintained that the allegation leveled against him was being concocted by ill-willed persons, mischief makers and blackmailers who are bent on destroying his cordial relationship with the State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole.
The statement read: “As a practicing 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,”
