The PDP Campaign Council in a statement in Benin City on Tuesday, described the story of the disqualification of Ighodalo as “fake, imaginary, diabolical and a satanic creation of the warped minds of the opposition.
“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. This is their trademark. They have nothing to offer the people of Edo State.
“Ighodalo remains a high-flying bonafide candidate of the PDP and he is in the race for the election.”
