Alarming reports have surfaced suggesting that there are concerted efforts to disqualify the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, ahead of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Edo State.

Reliable sources have indicated that agents associated with the All Progressives Congress (APC) are actively plotting to undermine Ighodalo’s candidacy.

The plans reportedly include not only legal maneuvers aimed at disqualifying him from the election but also potentially violent actions intended to incapacitate him, thereby removing him from the electoral contest.

The allegations suggest that there is a coordinated strategy to sabotage Ighodalo’s campaign through both legal and physical means.

According to insiders, the APC is leveraging various tactics to discredit and disqualify the PDP candidate, thereby diminishing the competition in the gubernatorial race.

Moreover, there are grave concerns about the safety of Ighodalo.

Sources claim that there are plans to harm him in a way that would render him unable to participate in the elections.

The gravity of these claims has prompted widespread condemnation and calls for immediate action from security operatives, the judiciary, the Independent National Electoral Commission, national and international observers and civil society organisations.
