Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, has filed a N20 billion defamation lawsuit against Senator Adams Oshiomhole.

Ighodalo’s legal representatives, Ayo Asala (SAN) & Associates, have demanded an immediate and unequivocal retraction and apology from Oshiomhole, stating that his comments are baseless and malicious.

“Our client is an accomplished Nigerian legal practitioner and a corporate leader whose impressive resume from birth up till the current day is entirely in the public domain, and our client has absolutely no connection with and could never have been involved in any manner whatsoever with the purported ‘PLANWELL’ scheme with which you have seriously defamed our client’s reputation,” the legal letter stated.

Ighodalo further noted that the fabrication of the unfounded and false story regarding his purported involvement in the Planwell scheme is a figment of Oshiomhole’s imagination, designed to denigrate his good character and reputation for political gain.

“Our client has been inundated with calls and other contacts from concerned members of the public who heard your said allegations on electronic and social media, as a result of which our client has suffered enormous unwarranted reputational damage arising from the lies and baseless fabrications of which you have become the purveyor,” the letter added.

Ighodalo demanded an immediate and unqualified retraction and apology for Oshiomhole’s false, defamatory, and malicious statements, which should be published in at least two national television networks and three nationally circulating newspapers.

He also demanded compensation for damages in the sum of 20 billion Naira.
