Edo: Appeal Court hasn’t disqualified Ighodalo - PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has debunked a report of the alleged disqualification of Asue Ighodalo, the party’s candidate in the September 21, 2024 governorship election.

“Contrary to the fake news being peddled by merchants of lies and propaganda, no Appeal Court ruling has disqualified Dr. Asue Ighodalo, candidate PDP in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State,” the party said in a statement.

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.
