The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole failed in his attempt to confuse the people of Edo State with claims of a non-existent Court Judgement against the PDP candidate in the September 21, 2024 Edo State Governorship election, Dr. Asue Ighodalo.
National publicity secretary of PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba said, Nigerians watched with utter dismay as Oshiomhole struggled to convey “a false narrative laden with fabrications and bareface lies” on national TV to detract from the “popularity and support of the majority of Edo State citizens across party lines for Dr. Asue Ighodalo.”
The party, while referring to Oshiomhole’s appearance on Arise TV yesterday, said his utterances were “consistent with his antecedent of purveying falsehood, smear campaign and embellishment against individuals and groups that he feels threatened about, as evident in his unprintable assault against the person of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu during the 2016 Edo State governorship election campaign.
“This resort to falsehood and propaganda by Oshiomhole further confirms that the APC and its candidate, Monday Okpebholo have been jittery since the emergence of Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the PDP candidate judging from Dr. Ighodalo’s intimating credentials and overwhelming popularity and acceptability by the people.
“Rather than whining, Comrade Oshiomhole and the APC should contend with their unsellable and uninspiring candidate, who has consistently refused to engage the people of Edo State as he has no substance to deliver or provide to them,” PDP said.
