Odubu hits back at Oshiomole over Assassination claim

1 Min Read

Deputy governor of Edo state Dr. Pius Odubu has hit back at claims by the Governor Adams Oshiomole made through the commissioner for information and culture, Prince Kassim Afegbua that Odubu had hired the thugs himself to disrupt the area and fire at his aides at the APC secretariat in Auchi.

According to the Vanguard, Odubu said “We have it on good authority that some people were given money not to come out to receive us. Even a mad man cannot equip persons to shoot him.

“The whole convoy of the deputy governor was the target. I have been the number one target. If not for the security men that shielded me and other supporters, it would have been a different thing.”

The back and forth between Governor and Deputy is due to the latter announcing his intention to run for Governor in September, an action that hasn’t gone too well with Oshiomole.
