Edo PDP guber candidate, Ighodalo, threatens to sue Oshiomhole over alleged defamation

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.
