Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa, has alleged that certain individuals are attempting to create disunity between him and Governor Monday Okpebholo, insisting that such efforts will not succeed.

In a statement personally signed by him, Idahosa said he had become aware of what he described as sponsored false narratives circulating online, allegedly aimed at driving a wedge between the governor and his deputy.

According to him, the alleged plotters were uncomfortable with the level of unity within the state’s leadership and were therefore seeking to undermine it through misinformation.

He stated, “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 discord.”

The deputy governor dismissed the alleged moves as futile, stressing that his loyalty to the governor and commitment to the administration’s agenda remained firm.

“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 such plan is bound to fail,” he said.

Idahosa further reaffirmed his support for Governor Okpebholo, describing their partnership as firm and unbreakable.

“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,” he declared.

He warned that any attempt to weaken the cohesion of the administration would be unsuccessful, adding, “Any attempt to divide us or weaken our team is dead on arrival. You are simply wasting your time.”
