Faced with the glaring reality of their imminent defeat at the polls in September, the Edo State APC is now resorting to their usual misdirection strategy and evil propaganda politics.
Given their desperation, there are no limits and boundaries to the despicable politics they are always willing to play in order to deflect attention from the issues including playing politics with the revered traditional institution of the Oba of Benin.
The APC are currently mobilising their members and other miscreants with money to stage a protest on Monday at the High Court in the hearing of the case filed by suspended Enigies.
The plan is to cause confusion and create the mischievous impression that PDP is involved in a traditional matter where the parties are well known and which has nothing to do with the PDP or its Candidate.
In their warped thinking, spreading such lies and falsehood against PDP will mislead the public into demonising the Party while paving way for their clueless, incompetent, dim-witted and mute Candidate to emerge Governor of Edo State.
The good thing is that Edo people are wiser and educated enough to be cajoled and misled by such dirty politics and scorch earth propaganda tactics of the APC. They know the facts and will not fall for the manipulation of APC!
It is an open secret that selling the candidacy of Akpakomiza has been an uphill task for them due to his obvious intellectual deficiencies, recurring gaffes at public events and chain of controversies around him.
