I have settled my rift with my deputy - Governor Oshiomhole

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State Thursday announced that he and his deputy, Dr. Pius Odubu were no longer fighting.


According to reports, the Governor made the disclosure during a reconciliation and thank you party organized for ward leaders of the All Progressives Congress.

“Let us imbibe the spirit of oneness. I was excited of having the privilege to brief President Muhammadu Buhari of the outcome of our primaries and the president said he was proud of all you who participated in that process. This will be the first time a sitting president will hold the hand of our party candidate and present him to the people of our great state.”

“As you return to your wards, align with leaders of each of those wards to call a meeting and have time together. Remind them that they voted for the party. Convene meetings at the ward level to bring all the ward leaders together. We need to visit them and we will visit them. They worked much harder. They deserve our commendation.

“This is the time to settle small quarrels within the party. No more rumours. Help us to unite, to reconcile, to restore old friendship and old alliances. I have renewed mine with my deputy governor. It is one party, one family and one destination.

“PDP has elected a more credible candidate. The problem with that is that the candidate is not carrying the kind of baggage the fake pastor is carrying. Our campaign message must be different.”
