APC TO CAPTURE DELTA IN 2019: TALK IS CHEAP

Image may contain: 1 person
The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) boasts that the party will claim the State from PDP in 2019 is just cheap and silly.
These talks are words that are meant to win favours from the APC led federal government rather than serious declaration of intent by the party to defeat the ruling party in the next elections.
Most of those in the forefront of these campaigns are alien to the politics of the State.  We wouldn’t blame them much, because they are ignorant of Delta politics. Secondly, the exercise of bringing the divided APC together, which they claim to have succeeded in, doesn’t add up. The addition of Cairo Ojuogbo and his co-travelers into the fray further complicates their situations.
The division within the APC in Delta State is skin-deep and multifaceted and it is entirely driven by the reckless ambition of several men against the run of affairs to become governor at all cost.
It is most of unfortunate that these power-hungry desperados forget that the current economic predicament is national in outlook.  Besides, the economic problem in the States is nationwide and not peculiar to Delta. So, if the APC thinks it can capitalise on the economic downturn, it’s just fooling itself, because essentially that party created the problem with its kleptocratic rule that put the country in recession.
There is no magic that will make the party to win the State now, because the APC is telling all sorts of criminal lies against the Okowa led administration and doing everything demonically possible to disparage the person of the Governor, it is doubtful if Deltans are swayed by their lies and the smear campaign, there’s no way they will be accepted now.
It’s a pity that because the APC in Delta State is blind, they have equally made the leaders blind and ignorant. Most of their leaders come to Delta but cannot see, they cannot feel and they cannot hear what’s evidently going on here in the State.
