Edo gov’ship: Smear campaign against our candidate will fail – PDP chieftain

A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Pamela Osasuyi, has assured that the smear campaigns and frivolous litigation aimed at distracting the candidate of the party, Asue Ighodalo, in the September governorship election will end in vanity.

Osasuyi told newsmen that the party is aware of a well-oiled plot by certain egocentric and overtly ambitious individuals to orchestrate a series of coordinated smear campaigns against Ighodalo.

The party said the perpetrators of the campaigns are frustrated by Ighodalo’s emergence as a candidate, his overwhelming popularity across the state, and the fact that he is already coasting to victory in the election.

She said, “It has also come to the knowledge of our party that these unscrupulous elements have been attempting to compromise the media to publish fabrications against our candidate and campaign.”
