The Presidency and the leadership of the APC seems to have distanced away from the APC campaign in Edo State.
According to confidential sources within the APC, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC leadership are angry that the APC candidate in Edo State, Monday Okpebholo cannot in fact speak correct English language.
Infact there is a major concern that Monday can not even spell Tuesday.
As of the time of this report, the APC is in total disarray and confusion as it battles with the embarrassment the APC candidate is daily causing the party.
Some of the leadership of the APC in Edo State have since been summoned to Abuja to answer to how Monday Okpebholo emerged as candidate of the party.
There are suspicions that Monday may have emerged through a compromised promise that left out the best the party could have fielded.
According to a source that pleased to be kept anonymous, “The Presidency summoned Oshiomole and Monday over Monday’s inability to communicate in English. The Presidency fears that the APC chance in this Edo election is very slim based on all indications.
“With this development, some key stakeholders in the party are not happy that each time Monday open his mouth to speak, he causes more damage to the party’s reputation.
“As a result of this, Monday and Oshiomole have been advised to stay mute during the campaign in order for them not to destroy the slim chances the party has left to make any good impression before September 21 to Edo people.
According to another insider within the APC, Asue Ighodalo is obviously going to win this forthcoming Edo State Governorship election.
