The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rebuffed the endorsement of one of the governorship aspirants, Dr Asue Ighodalo, by a section of party leaders in one of the senatorial districts.
The Edo PDP Secretary, Hilary Otsu, in a statement on Friday, said such endorsements aimed to question the credibility of a process that has just begun, urging the members of the party to ignore the endorsement.
Otsu stated: “Our attention has been drawn to a press release by a segment of a Senatorial Zone, indicating the endorsement of Dr Asue Ighodalo as a governorship candidate.

“The unwarranted press release has already began to raise questions with regards to the credibility of the nomination process which the party has just kickstarted.
“As a result of incessant calls, we are advising all party members/faithful to disregard totally, this press release/adoption statement. The process of nomination for an Edo PDP governorship candidate has started and will be followed through to its completion.
“We hereby warn mischief-makers and political traders to desist from any acts that will hinder this process. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and credible process, acceptable to all aspirants. Goodluck to all aspirants.”
