The media team of Edo State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Asue Ighodalo has distanced itself from the process which led to the Impeachment of Comrade Philip Shaibu as Deputy Governor of the state.
After falling out of favour with his principal Governor Godwin Obaseki, Shaibu was impeached on grounds of constitutional breaches by the state House of Assembly on 8th April.
In a statement on Momday, the office said: “While we would not usually join issues in response to every passing comment, it has become imperative to address the recent spurious allegations by former Edo State Deputy Governor, Phillip Shaibu,
“it is necessary for the record, to state in no uncertain terms, that Mr. Asue Ighodalo has had no role or involvement in any form whatsoever in the very public process leading to Mr. Shuaibu’s impeachment and subsequent removal from office by the Edo State House of Assembly.
“These claims are completely without merit, and Mr. Ighodalo categorically denies any such involvement. These allegations are a clear attempt to unjustly tarnish his reputation and divert attention from the actual issues at hand.
“We urge the public and the media to regard these false statements with well deserved skepticism.
“Asue Ighodalo remains focused on running a governorship campaign based on issues, and devoid of distractions.
