Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has sparked discussion with his claim that political sins cannot condemn anyone to hellf+re. Speaking at the Edo State APC congress in Benin City on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Oshiomhole responded to appeals for forgiveness from the newly elected state chairman, Jarret Tenebe.
“Political sin cannot lead anybody to hellf+re,” he said, adding that politicians are bound to err but such missteps are part of the political process. Oshiomhole elaborated, “Jarret said all the sins he has committed should be forgiven.
I said he who does not sin does not belong to this planet Earth. Political sinners don’t need to go to hell. Political sins can grow around a moment and then just dissolve. Jarret, you are brand new, staleness like a mint.”
