The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the fake news circulated that its candidate Dr. Asue Ighodalo, has stepped down from the Edo governorship race.
The party described the reports as “another feeble display of APC’s pre-defeat trauma which should be ignored by the public.”
“APC’s resort to peddling fake news against the candidature of Asue Ighodalo on the eve of the election is another failed propaganda ploy which further confirms that the APC and its candidate, Monday Okpebholo have already given up being rattled and heavily intimidated by by Dr. Asue Ighodalo’s overwhelming winning popularity across Edo State.
“The APC, in its attempt to fake the PDP letterhead and the signatures of our Acting National Chairman and National Secretary ended up ridiculing itself by using the wrong logo in the document and representing same as that of the PDP.
“By this despicable act, the APC has sunk deeper into the abyss of shame and rejection as a cesspit of lies, deceit and falsehood.
“The APC continues to fail in its several bids to stop Dr. Asue Ighodalo and will ultimately experience a crushing defeat at the poll on Saturday,” PDP spokesman, Deborah Ologunagba said a statement.
He retitrates that Ighodalo is very much in the Saturday, September 21, 2024 Edo State Governorship election race, adding that he enjoys the full support of the people of Edo State.
“Not even the propaganda, lies, manipulation, plots to cause confusion and violence by the APC will change his sail to victory.
PDP demands that the Police immediately invite and question APC leaders involved in this cowardly act including one Aye S O Egberi, a self-confessed Director of APC All The Way, who posted the said deceptive material on his social media handle,” he added.
