The Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) National Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade,has said a total of eight cases were instituted against the nomination Asue Ighodalo as candidate, in the September 21, Edo governorship poll.

Ajibade stated this, on Saturday, at a meeting of the PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo State governorship election.However, he said seven of the cases have been disposed.

The nomination of Ighodalo as PDP candidate in the forthcoming Edo gubernatorial contest has been trailed by controversy.

The PDP legal adviser said “In Edo State we have a lot of challenges, we have 8 cases that we are battling with and certainly we know that where you have a party that is popular the struggle for the ticket will be fierce.

“Out of the 8 cases we are done with 7. The one of the day before yesterday was the 7^th. We still have one pending before the court and by God’s grace it will go the same way the other cases have gone.”

Ajibade, while reacting to the judgment of Federal High Court, on the PDP governorship primary,said ‘ by the time we get to the appeal court we will put our record in proper perspective.”

He added “this Is not the first time we are having this, during the last election we had similar issue that moved from the Federal High Court to the Supreme Court. Members of the campaign council do not be discouraged by what you hear. You can pick up the CTC and read and know that our candidate is unshakable.” (Saturday Sun)
