Edo 2024: APC Sinking Ship and Tide of Desperation
By Amb. Tony Okonigene
The Asue/Ogie Movement of the PDP, is becoming organic in Edo State. The candidate of the PDP for the coming governorship election in Edo State, Barr. Asue Ighodalo, has exhibited strength, capacity, preparedness, credibility and a focused agenda to make Edo State a first world state in a third world country. This has endeared him to the majority of Edo citizens especially the women and youth who crave for hope in the hopeless situation the APC led Federal Government has thrown the country into. The governorship of Barr. Asue Ighodalo is seen as a beacon of hope for Edo people.
It is therefore not surprising to see the desperation the opposition parties , especially the APC, have put in place to stop him.? They have resorted to recruiting spin doctors to misinform the public with twisted outcomes of events in order to keep hope alive amongst their lost followers who have been initiated with the spirits of hatred, destruction and fixation. They have rolled out the lions and tigers to maim, kill and destroy so that there will be a call for the declaration of a state of emergency in Edo state.
All the tactics they have deployed so far have collapsed like a pack of cards. The 8 cases instituted through their proxies who recently openly defected to the APC, have been dismissed by the courts. The spin doctors have been deployed to sell out lies, propaganda and misinformation to their heart broken followers who were given all the assurances that the courts will disqualify the PDP candidate who has become a movement in Edo State. So desperate have they become that a former Deputy Governor posted a fake version of the Appeal Court recent ruling.
Of course, their brainwashed followers who have been programmed to believe the lies of the spin doctors, are holding onto this straw. For them, Barr. Asue Ighodalo will not be on the ballot. This is their only hope. They have refused to go out and sell the manifesto of their candidate. There is non activity. The prayers they pray day and night in their covens are centered on the disqualification of Barr. Asue Ighodalo. Outside this, they have no hope.
Let me cause further heart aches for the APC followers by announcing to them that the Asue/Ogie ticket is sacrosanct, unmovable, endorsed by the Edo people who want a better future for the state and above all, sanctified by God Almighty. No weapon fashioned against it will prosper. BARR ASUE IGHODALO IS AND WILL REMAIN ON THE BALLOT AND WILL WIN THE EDO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION COMING UP ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2024. Know this and have peace
