IGHODALO DENIES INVOLVEMENT IN SHAIBU’S IMPEACHMENT.

Babatunji Wusu –

Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) governorship candidate in Edo State, has denied any involvement in the impeachment of the state’s former Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.
Ighodalo, who described the charge as false, claimed that the claims were made up to harm his name.

This was revealed in a statement issued by his media team on Monday.

The statement read, “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 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.”
