Senator representing Edo North in the National Assembly, Adams Oshiomhole, has asserted that political sins are enough to make politicians go to hellfire.
Naijaonpoint reports that Oshiomhole, while speaking at the Edo State All Progressives Congress (APC) congress on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in Benin City, said, “Political sin cannot lead anybody to hellfire.”
Oshiomhole had made the remark while responding to a plea by the newly elected state chairman of the APC Jarret Tenebe.
Tenebe has appealed to those he had offended while serving as the party’s acting chairman to forgive him.
However, the former Governor of Edo State argued that political sins are normal in politics and will not take them to hell.
According to Oshiomole, Tenebe may have committed sins against anyone, but he has been forgiven.
He added, “Politicians are bound to commit sins, but they will not lead them to hellfire.
“Jarret said all the sins he has committed should be forgiven. And I said he who does not sin does not belong to this planet Earth. This Earth is populated by sinners. For sinners who weep, ask for forgiveness in the way he has done. But to be honest, political sinners don’t need to go to hell.
“Political sins can only grow around a moment and then they just get dissolved. So, Jarret, you are brand new, staleness like a mint.”
