Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has refuted speculations that Governor Adams Oshiomhole was planning to get the legislature to impeach the deputy governor of the state, Dr Pius Odubu.
Last week, a group, Let the People Lead Vanguard, alleged that members of the state House of Assembly, who were in Asaba, Delta State, for an induction, had perfected plans to impeach Obudu for his ambition to succeed Oshiomhole.
Reacting yesterday, state Publicity Secretary, Godwin Erhahon, said: “We are very sure that Oshiomhole appreciates the unalloyed loyalty of his deputy, Dr. Odubu, and as such has no hands in such plot even when they differ on who succeeds him or how such successor should emerge.
“Oshiomhole is reputed for his tolerance of opposition in any contest and his self-confidence and courage to challenge and defeat his opponent through superior arguments and conventional strategy.
“Therefore, any attempt to link our governor with such vicious strategy as impeachment of a loyal deputy for the purpose of disabling him in his governorship ambition can only come from enemies of peace and progress who are bent on causing disaffection between the duo of the governor and his amiable deputy.”
