By Simeon OSAJIE

The governorship candidate of the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 21 September gubernatorial election, Barr. Asue Ighodalo has reemphasized that he will stay on issues based campaign and no circumstance will make him derail.

Ighodalo disclosed this while reacting to a trending video on socio media made by former governor of Edo State now senator represent Edo North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Adams Oshiomhole at a rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign in the State.

Oshiomhole has publicly said that Asue Ighodalo has no house in his hometown Ewohimi in Esan South-East local government area of the state.

But the Edo PDP governorship candidate, Barr. Ighodalo debunked such claim, saying that the former Edo State Governor Oshiomhole has visited his house on several occasions.

According to him, “People will stand on a podium regardless his age and lied through his teeth and we think that people should believe.

“Adams Oshiomhole says l don’t have a house in Ewohimi. But he came to my house when my father died, he was there and he spoke at my father’s funeral eulogizing my family, and he came and stay in my house. When his owe wife died, he and some of his guests stayed in my house.

“When people say things like that because of desperation of power, we know there is a problem.

I” just need to, because l have promised myself that l will stay on issues and l will not let anybody make me derail. But people must respect themselves regardless their ages.

“We have been brought up to value people, respect ages, whether they are older than you or younger than you, and l stay on that. But people cannot lie through their teeth and expect that people should keep quite.

“How do you take a blooding liar stand for seriously? I rest my case”
