The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Edo State Chapter has refuted claims that an appeal Court ruling disqualified its gubernatorial candidate, Asue Ighodalo, in the September 21 governorship election of the state.
This clarification was made on Tuesday by the PDP Campaign Council in a statement signed by the Deputy Director General, Asue Ogie Campaign Management, Rev Olu Martins. The party described the alleged story of the disqualification of Ighodalo as 'fake, imaginary, diabolical and a satanic creation of the warped minds of the leaders and chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State.
The statement reads in part,'The rudderless APC, in a bid to divert attention from its total rejection by the people of Edo State, having seen through its unpreparedness for the election, had gone to town with fake news that Ighodalo had been disqualified. It's not true. It's fake news. “We call on the good people of Edo State and the nation at large to disregard the fake news. This is criminal forgery and that is even putting it mildly. “They are liars and propagandists.
