Edo Guber: I've settled rift with Odubu, says Oshiomhole
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has said he is renewing the
friendship between him and his deputy, Dr Pius Odubu 13 days after the
All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in the state.
Oshiomhole disclosed this on Thursday in a meeting with party leaders
and supporters from the three senatorial districts of the state where
he described Odubu as a brother in progress and emphasised that the
party must be united to win the September 10 polls.
Oshiomhole appealed to leaders of the party to start up a
reconciliation process that would settle quarrels among party men,
noting that the electioneering period is full of what he called deceit,
‘politicking’ and ‘politricking’.
According to him, “Let me appreciate my younger brother with whom I
have entrusted power not because we were the best but because God chose
to use you to give us that favour. That is Pius Egberamwen Odubu, the
Deputy Governor of Edo State. It doesn’t matter how the result went, I
want to publicity appreciate him and I assure him I regard him as a
brother. What is important is the process because we know that no
matter what, one person will emerge; therefore, it is the process that
brought that person that we will celebrate.
“For our leaders, this is the time you have to settle small quarrels,
‘politicking’ and ‘politricking’ always create a little bit of
irritation but leaders know how to settle them. No more rumours about
who had meeting last night, so please help us to reunite, reconcile and
rebuild internal coercion and resort old friendship, old alliances. I
am renewing my own with my deputy. I ask you to do the same; it is one
party one destination”,
