As reactions continue to trail the just concluded Edo governorship elections, Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and former presidential aspirant, Chief Dele Momodu, has said he was not surprised at the outcome of the elections.
Momodu, in a WhatsApp message to our correspondent, insisted that most of the principal state actors, both in the APC and PDP, are involved in “gangsterism.”
He said, “I’m flabbergasted that some Nigerians still expect APC to lose this particular election. It is practically impossible, and I’m ready to place a modest bet on it.
“I will be very disappointed if my governor and brother, Godwin Obaseki, is unaware of a special operation codenamed Oga wants it. Most of the principal state actors, both in APC and PDP, are involved in gangsterism. Only a few are disinterested. Obaseki is surrounded by some wolves in sheep’s clothing, unfortunately. I will pardon Asue Ighodalo if he’s somehow naive at this stage of his political career and adventure, not to understand the usual chicanery in Nigerian politics.
“Oga not only wants it; OGA needs it, like oxygen for survival. The acolytes are desperate to deceive Oga, saying that all is well and he can count on them to deliver any state in future elections, despite their abysmally despicable performances in power.
“The two camps working together in a temporary marriage of convenience are primarily in APC, while those in PDP are mostly those serving their second terms who are not oblivious to the Yahaya Bello treatment. The ones in PDP are allegiance to their ringleader, whose voluptuous presidential ambition is not hidden. The permutation is that if for whatever reason OGA is not able to run, then the Mafia Don will have PDP in reserve since APC has a preponderance of would-be competitors. That is all. Even within the Mafia group, there are still some lily-livered members who have suppressed their own presidential and vice-presidential ambitions out of mortal fear for their rambunctious leader…
Oga wants it; Oga must have it, by all means.”
