Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressive Candidate (APC) for the upcoming gubernatorial election in Edo State has declared his resolve to defy the purported machinations of influential party figures, labeling them as “hungry godfathers” eager to plunder state coffers if he emerges victorious in the polls.
Speaking through a trusted aide, who chose to remain anonymous, the APC candidate unleashed a scathing critique of those rallying around him, alleging their ulterior motives and self-serving agendas. With candor, he dismissed their purported support as a thinly veiled guise to exploit the state’s resources for personal gain.
“The so-called godfathers hovering around me are not genuine supporters of Edo State’s progress,” the candidate asserted. “Their allegiance lies in fattening their pockets at the expense of our people’s welfare.”
Singling out prominent figures within the party, such as Pastor Ize-Iyamu and Acting Chairman Tenebe, the candidate accused them of lacking genuine commitment to the state’s development. He portrayed them as opportunists driven solely by personal enrichment, casting doubt on their professed intentions.
Moreover, the candidate expressed skepticism towards certain party stalwarts, notably Senator Monday Okpebholo, who harbored grievances against former Senator Oshiomole for perceived betrayal. Allegations of financial impropriety and undue influence were leveled, suggesting a fractious relationship within the party ranks.
Senator Okpebholo’s purported strategy to prioritize financial backers over entrenched party elites further underscored his defiance against traditional power structures. His emphasis on financial transparency and accountability resonated with his vision for a reformed political landscape in Edo State.
In a surprising twist, the candidate expressed admiration for Dr. Asue Ighodalo, acknowledging his competency and dedication to the state’s welfare. The endorsement of a rival candidate hinted at a nuanced understanding of regional dynamics and a commitment to meritocracy.
However, the candidate reserved skepticism towards Olumide Akpata, dismissing his candidacy as a mere formality lacking substantive political engagement. The critique underscored a commitment to principles of justice, equity, and fairness in governance, while subtly questioning the legitimacy of Akpata’s political aspirations....
