Plot to create discord between Okpebholo and I ‘dead on arrival’ – Edo deputy governor

The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, has condemned what he described as attempts to sow discord between him and Governor Monday Okpebholo, warning that such efforts are futile.

Idahosa said those involved should redirect their energies towards supporting the governor’s SHINE Agenda rather than engaging in distractions.

In a personally signed statement on Friday, he described the individuals allegedly sponsoring the narratives as distractors unsettled by what he called the administration’s practical approach to governance.

He said, “It has come to my attention that certain individuals, unsettled by the unity between my boss, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and myself, have resorted to sponsoring false narratives online in a desperate attempt to sow seeds of discord.”

Idahosa insisted the efforts would not succeed, adding, “Let it be clearly stated that their efforts will amount to nothing.

“As long as my boss, my senior brother, and I remain united, such plans are bound to fail.”He further declared his loyalty to the governor, saying, “I, Dennis Osagbemwenrue Idahosa, stand solidly behind my boss like the Rock of Gibraltar. I stand where he stands, and I sit where he sits.”

The deputy governor also dismissed any suggestion of division within the administration, stating, “Any attempt to divide us or weaken our team is dead on arrival. They are simply wasting their time.”Idahosa said the Okpebholo-led government remains focused on delivering its campaign promises and urged Edo residents to continue supporting the administration despite what he described as online smear campaigns targeting the government, the governor and other top officials.
