.. *.I am not a member of APC....Ihama*
By Amb. Tony Okonigene ANIVS, RSV
Still swimming in the muddy waters of two separate primaries that produced three different candidates, one faction of a confused, disoriented and deplated Edo APC that produced Senator Monday Okpebholo, has been meeting leaders of the Legacy PDP to allow Rt. Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama to deputize their candidate. In a show of desperation, the APC faction unleashed their media outfits to start spreading the fake news that Hon. Ihama has accepted their greek offer.
After its mismanaged primaries in Edo State, the factioned APC has realized that there are no quality members within their ranks that can pair its candidate to match the formidable undisputed candidate of the PDP, Barr. Asue Ighodalo. Thus the leaders have resorted to shopping for a deputy candidate from a PDP that parades an array of well grounded prospective deputy deputy governorship candidate in Edo South.
Reacting to the rumours making the rounds about his purported nomination as the APC deputy governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Ogbeide Ihama said that he is not a member of the APC and has not resigned his PDP membership. He said that he has received several calls from far and near concerning the news. He admitted that the APC leadership has been on him with the offer but there has been no such agreement reached. He noted that the Legacy group was still in negotiations with the PDP candidate, Barr. Asue Ighodalo and he hopes they will arrive at a mutually beneficial working relationship.
It is clear that the APC in Edo state is bereaved of quality members that can be trusted with the leadership of the state. A party that is relying on the perceived division within the PDP to produce its deputy governorship candidate and also win the general elections will surely crumble once their permutations fail and they have already started failing.
