Edo State Deputy Governor, Dr. Pius Odubu, has denied reports published by some national daily newspapers on Sunday that he was plotting with some native doctors to kill his boss, Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

The cordial relationship between Governor Oshiomhole and his deputy had plummeted since the latter had declared interest in vying for the governorship position of Edo State.

Odubu debunked the allegation in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Kelly Odaro.

God knows that he has never had any pact with any witch/native doctor to kill anyone or avenge for him and he will never condescend to that extent as long as God lives. It is against his 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.

“The Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. (Dr) Pius Egberanmwen Odubu will, by the special 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 instruments.

“At times like this, blackmailers are at their best but 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. He wishes to reiterate that he has no rift with the Comrade Governor who he revers and deeply appreciates,” the statement said
