Our
people have one lofty aphorism, which when directly translated, says:
"When you cannot catch the shark, search for crayfish, instead of leaving
the ocean without a haul". The recent activity of the Delta APC and their
candidate aptly suits that saying. It is simply annoying that the APC took a
case to the Election tribunal for a decision and after messing up with the case
by parading witnesses that contradicted themselves, the party now storms the
media to create false impression that it is winning.
The
truth, which no one can deny, is that the APC in Delta is playing on the
sympathy of a confused and depressed clique to keep hope alive in what is
unarguably a hopeless situation. Their move is interesting, as they are
spending billions of naira in the unholy crusade of becoming the governor of Delta
State through litigation, without any visible political structure within the
State.
The
APC, I dare say, is stranded with the vain hope that President Mohammadu Buhari
will destroy his reputation by influencing the tribunal process in his favour.
Nothing at the moment really suggests that. Emerhor and APC Delta State are
alone and lonely on this journey of vendetta and self-destruct.
The
Delta State APC sees things in rose-tinted glasses. The All Progressives
Congress, APC in the State is currently deceiving unsuspecting women and youths
in villages to dispossess them of their voter’s card. In investigating the
matter, some petty traders who formed a co-operative women group have alleged that
the agents of the APC have informed them that President Muhammadu Buhari has
ordered a re-run of the Governorship elections which Governor Ifeanyi Okowa won
and that, they should hand over their cards so that they would enjoy government
patronage, employment, financial grants and other benefits when APC takes over.
And these men gave them forms to fill, that their children will also be given
jobs and that, they should pay ten thousand naira each.
Some
members of the Delta APC, a party without any structure across the State,
believe they can use deception and bribery to win elections through the courts
and they are spreading false rumours using the social media and some local
dailies to galvanise the minds of the people to sympathise with them. APC in
Delta State is employing a lot of lies to want to create political momentum. They
should know that lies win no war, but truth prevails forever.
