PDP Governorship Candidate Files N20bn Defamation Suit Against Oshiomhole
Mr Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, has filed a N20bn defamatory suit against Senator Adams Oshiomhole over comments on the Planwell scheme.
In the suit, Mr Ighodalo, through his counsel, Ayo Asala (SAN) & Associates, is alao seeking an immediate and unqualified retraction and apology for the false, defamatory, and malicious comments which should be published in at least two (2) National Television Networks and three (3) nationally circulating newspapers.
Mr Ighodalo noted that the allegations by Oshiomhole are baseless, false, and malicious, describing them as another of such defamatory fabrications and statements made by the Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District in the recent past.
Didactic Information Hut recalls that Senator Oshiomhole, who is a former governor of Edo State, while speaking at an APC Governorship Campaign Rally over the weekend had accused Mr Ighodalo of defrauding innocent Edo People through the dubious scheme called Planwell.
