WHY DELTA APC CONTINUES TO WALLOW IN DECEPTION


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.
