Plot to cause discord between me, my boss won’t work, Edo DG, Idahosa 

From Tony Osauzo, Benin

The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Hon Dennis Idahosa, has advised those trying to sow seed of discord between him and his principal, Governor Monday Okpebholo, to refocus their energy on matters that would add value to the governor’s SHINE Agenda.

The former member of the House of Representatives declared that any attempt to weaken the relationship between him and Okpebholo “is dead on arrival.”

In a statement personally signed by him, and made available to newsmen in Benin on Friday, Idahosa labelled the naysayers as distractors, noting that they were only pained by the practical governance being demonstrated by the administration.

He vowed to stand by the governor in spite of the online smear campaigns against the government, the personality of the governor and other top government functionaries.

“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 seed of discord.

“Let it be clearly stated that their efforts will amount to nothing. As long as my boss, my senior brother, and I remain united, every of such plan is bound to fail.

“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.

“Any attempt to divide us or weaken our team is dead on arrival. They are simply wasting their time.” Idahosa reiterated.

He stressed that the Governor Okpebholo-led administration remained focus in delivering on its campaign promises to the people and urged the people to remain steadfast with their support for the government.
