….fear protest will affect APC’s chances
….mobilise Tony Kabaka to foil protests
By Idris Yahaya
All Progressives Congress assumed godfather, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and his new found godson, Monday Okpebholo, are making frantic efforts to stop the looming nationwide “End Bad Governance” Protest from taking place in Edo State
The duo of Oshiomhole and Okpebholo are deeply worried that the protest which is coming just over a month to the September Governorship Elections will damage the reputation of their party and completely destroy the already slim chances of Okpebholo winning the elections.
Following severe hardship which has seen a sustained rise in inflation and a cost of living crisis coupled with high level of unemployment and insecurity, Nigerians nationwide are poised to hit the streets in protest against APC’s bad leadership from 1st of August 2024.
APC as a Party has become synonymous with the economic turmoil and unemployment crisis in the Country as all developmental indices point to the fact that the living conditions of the vast majority of Nigerians have worsened under the APC administration.
In fact, the Nation has cemented its place as the poverty capital of the World under the APC government of Buhari and now Tinubu. Inflation has reached an all-time high of 43 per cent while food inflation is as high as 40 per cent. A bag of rice now sells for about N90,000.
For many in Edo State, they don’t want to hear the name of the Party, a situation that has been made worse by the Candidate, Monday Okpebholo who has shown no vibrancy or intelligence in his engagement.
Ahead of the planned protests, APC has perfected plans to deploy the use of violence to derail the protest and lead to a breakdown of law and order.
Sources reveal that APC youth Leader, Tony Kabaka and some other henchmen have been heavily mobilised to ensure that any attempt at protesting in Benin City and environs will end in violence and a total breakdown of law and order.
