With about a week to the 2024 Edo State gubernatorial election the secret plans of the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) to win the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) has come to light.

Newsmint has gathered credible information that Asue Ighodalo of the PDP will be having a hectic time squaring up with APC's Monday Okpebholo on Saturday, 21 September 2024 due to underhand tactics leaders of APC adopted.

APC stalwarts have found it extremely difficult to sell the Monday Okpebholo candidacy for obvious reasons. For instance, the enlightened electorates of Edo State have not been comfortable with him because of two major reasons.

The first is the excruciating economic burden the Bola Tinubu Federal Government has plunged the nation into since becoming the president of Nigeria on 29th May 2023. The pains inflicted on the citizenry because of poor economic policies had made Edos nay Nigerians bear animosities and grudges toward the APC candidate.

On the other hand, Okpebholo, the APC flagbearer has not been impressive in his public conversations creating serious doubts about his intellectual soundness and administrative capabilities. He goofed in simple utterances that even a primary school pupil could excel. A large proportions of Nigerians readily believe he is only a puppet needed to capture power.

Our probosis has revealed that the following strategies will be employed to cover the party's glaring shortcomings hook or crook before, during and after election.

1. APC has perfected plans to connive with INEC officials to starve and or delay voting materials to PDP strongholds while her areas of possible influence receive sufficient materials in earnest time.
2. To arrest and detain prominent PDP leaders few days to election thereby creating panic and serious disorganization and destabilization in their midst
3. To cause chaos in polling units PDP wins in order to make votes inconclusive or invalid in those areas.
4. To engage thugs to attack and intimidate PDP polling representatives on election day.
5. To storm collating centres in areas PDP wins with armed thugs in order to cause disruption of the electoral victory of PDP.
6. To bribe INEC officials before or on election day with intent to influence the vote results from polling centres.
7. To pump so much cash to voting centres to influence recalcitrant voters who would easily vote against APC.
8. To infiltrate PDP election representatives in order to gain victory at the polls
9. To operate within INEC and manipulate the results in INEC portal should it be put to use in this election.
10. To conspire with INEC in case the electronic voting is discarded and announce doctored electoral results whereby the usual GO TO COURT SYNDROME will be propagated.
11. Embarking on campaign of calumny against the party which they have already begun such as the frayed relationship with the Oba of Benin.

Our investigations for the past few weeks further revealed that APC chieftains are not perturbed by the open complaints of PDP stalwarts because they have made up their minds to overrun their opponents in a manner that has never been witnessed in Nigeria's elections.

The grave silence of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is an outright indication that he has done his well-known underbelly manipulations such as he did in the 2023 presidential election where INEC played dirty roles which provoked international backlash.

However, the public opinion as expressed in the street views of Edo people about the inflationary trend in the country such as low exchange rate of the Naira and high prices of fuel which correspondently affected all faces of human life shows a likely rejection of APC come 21 September 2024.

This Edo governorship election will serve as another litmus test for the country's steepy democracy. But pundits believe that President Bola Tinubu from all indications will not want to lose a very important Frontline state like Edo at least to bolster his stranglehold on Nigeria's polity against a reelection bid come 2027.

Op even PDP themselves are aware nothing for them in this election, PDP looking for ways to blame someone or agency for there failure

You did not add using the Police force as an arm of the APC to truncate the system.

Also add that most APC thugs will be on Police uniform so people will not mistake them for thugs.


Edolites shine your eyes, APC does not mean well for you guys.

That prodigal drunkard of a son from Rivers should remain so forever.

List of evil people voting against the Edo people:-

*APC
*Wike
*Judiciary
*INEC
*Police
