Tony Azeigbemi, the Edo State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), affirmed that Asue Ighodalo remains the party’s candidate for the upcoming governorship election on September 21.
Azeigbemi issued this statement in response to a Federal High Court judgment that declared the party has no candidate in the election.

He addressed the rumors suggesting Ighodalo’s candidacy had been nullified, attributing them to opponents intimidated by Ighodalo’s growing popularity.
“Let it be on record that the candidacy of Dr. Asue Ighodalo as the PDP’s flag bearer for the 2024 elections remains intact. The judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja does not affect the party,” Azeigbemi stated.
He urged PDP supporters to stay calm and steadfast, reassuring them that there is no cause for concern.
