Edo Guber: Asue Ighodalo Reacts To His Court Victory

The People Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the September 21 Governorship election in Edo State, Asue Ighodalo, has denied reports that he is considering running for the Senate.​


Naija News reports that Ighodalo made the denial through a statement by his Team Asue Media Organisation (TAMO) on Saturday.

TAMO’s coordinator, Erhabor Emokpae, described the claim as baseless and a futile move to hoodwink the public and distract Ighodalo and the PDP from the ongoing efforts to reclaim his stolen mandate.

According to the organisation, Ighodalo has not expressed any interest in pursuing a senatorial bid.

TAMO dismissed claimed that Ighodalo is secretly consulting with key stakeholders and building support for a senatorial campaign.

Emokpae urged the public to disregard these speculative reports and remain focused on the issues that truly matter to the future of Edo State.

The statement read, “The attention of Team Asue Media Organisation has been drawn to an article circulating in the media, authored by one Comrade Robinson Akhenoba, which falsely claims that Asue Ighodalo, the recent governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State, is preparing to contest for a Senate seat in the upcoming Esan Central by-election. We categorically deny this baseless speculation.

“Asue Ighodalo has not expressed any interest in pursuing a senatorial bid. The suggestion that he is discreetly consulting with key stakeholders and building support for a senatorial campaign is entirely unfounded. At no point has Ighodalo considered this path, nor has he initiated discussions with any party leaders or stakeholders regarding the by-election.

“The article in question appears to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and distract from the ongoing efforts to seek justice in the aftermath of the shambolic Edo State governorship election. Asue Ighodalo remains focused on pursuing the restoration of the mandate that was stolen from the people of Edo State during the September 21 election. His commitment to democracy and good governance remains unwavering, and his priority is ensuring that the will of the people is upheld.

“We urge the public to disregard these speculative reports and remain focused on the issues that truly matter to the future of Edo State. Asue Ighodalo’s current efforts are dedicated to the legal and democratic processes aimed at restoring electoral integrity in the state. TAMO will continue to provide timely and accurate information regarding any developments in this regard, and we caution against the spread of false information that seeks to divert attention from the pressing issues at hand.”
