The politics of Edo State charged up, last week, following the revelation that emanated after a peace meeting between Governor Adams Oshiomhole and his deputy, Dr Pius Odubu.
The governor had, at the meeting, alleged that his deputy contracted native doctors to kill him. But his deputy denied the allegation vehemently, asserting that it was masterminded by people who wanted to destroy the cordial relationship between him and his boss over the past seven years.
Odubu is one of the governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the September 10 governorship election in the state. Others battling for the APC ticket include Mr Chris Ogienmwonyi, Gen.Charles Airhiavbere, Mr Godwin Obaseki, Mr Kenneth Imasuagbon, former Governor Osarhiemen Osunbor, Comrade Peter Esele and Prof. Frederick Ebegue Amadasun.
