Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the upcoming Edo State governorship election, has given Senator Adams Oshiomhole a seven-day ultimatum to retract allegedly slanderous statements made against him on national television.
In a letter dated August 12, 2024, Ighodalo‘s lawyers, Ayo Asala (SAN) & Associates, demanded that Oshiomhole issue a private apology and retraction of the statements, as well as a public apology to be published in two national dailies, Vanguard and ThisDay Newspapers, and on Arise TV.
The letter stated that Oshiomhole’s claims about Ighodalo’s candidacy during a recent TV appearance were “wild and unsubstantiated” and had been widely circulated on social media platforms.
