EDO 2024: APC Replies PDP of purported propaganda, Edo Election's drama between the two political Party giants get dirty as PDP agents spread lies against The Distinguished APC Monday Okpebholo
Since July 4th, 2024, when the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election that produced Asue Ighodalo as the party’s candidate for the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, the PDP has been in disarray.
In a desperate attempt to recover, they have resorted to spreading falsehoods against the undisputed APC governorship candidate, Distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo.
The landmark judgment by Justice Inyang Ekwo has severely impacted the PDP, leading to widespread disillusionment among its members. In a futile struggle to regain footing, the party is paying unidentified individuals to circulate baseless stories against Senator Okpebholo.
The latest in this series of paid propaganda is the unfounded claim that Senator Monday Okpebholo has enrolled in an adult education class to learn basic subjects.
It is important to set the record straight: Distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Abuja and has completed his thesis for a Master's in Governance and International Relations from the same institution.
We sympathize with the PDP in their current political frustration following the nullification of their primary election results. However, we advise them to focus on their appeal at the Court of Appeal rather than engaging in smear campaigns against the APC candidate, who is not responsible for their political misfortunes.
The people of Edo are well-informed and will not be swayed by the PDP’s falsehoods.
