The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2024 Edo election, Asue Ighodalo, has threatened to sue the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jarrett Tenebe, over alleged defamation.

In a letter from the legal firm Banwo & Ighodalo, the PDP gubernatorial candidate accused Tenebe of making false and damaging statements in a widely circulated video against him.

Tenebe, while reacting to the gaffe of Governor Monday Okpebholo during the resentation of the 2025 budget to the state assembly, had accused Ighodalo of stealing billions. https://dailypost.ng/2024/12/11/okpebholo-go-to-hell-burn-to-ashes-edo-apc-chair-tenebe-replies-critics-video/

Governor Okpebholo, who appeared before the Edo State House of Assembly on Tuesday, had struggled to read the total sums of the state budget estimate.
The governor, after several attempts to pronounce the figure, said it was confusing him, a comment that drew laughter. https://dailypost.ng/2024/12/10/drama-as-gov-okpebholo-struggles-to-pronounce-n605bn-budget-figure/

The governor’s gaffe subsequently trended on social media platforms, with many users expressing diverse opinions.

In the video Tenebe released about the incident, he said Obaseki and Ighodalo would not have made such a mistake because they had stolen billions before.

Responding to the circulated video, Ighodalo gave Tenebe seven days to issue a full retraction, a public apology, and assurances that no further defamatory comments would be made.
