One of the sure ways to fail is to build your tomorrow on the imagination that your contender may be sympathetic to your plight. It was Prince Hector in the legend of Troy who warned his father the King to avoid trusting in the vision of his priests and desist from building war strategies on bird signs. Such is the life of a gambler hoping to reach life goals in the lottery.
Until Comrade Adams Oshiomhole spilled the bean in Egor that Okpebholo would be the next Edo State Governor as the state cannot continue talking without actions, some followers of the PDP had believed what deceptive leaders had told them to retain their loyalty that PDP had a chance to continue in Edo on Oshiomhole's imagined support. They built their hopes on bird signs like the f**lish elders of Troy.
In other news, the fainting elders of PDP had told gullible followers that Asue Ighodalo is AKINTUNDE; a Yoruba son who has the sympathy of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They even went further to spin that AKINTUNDE donated 3 Billion Naira to Tinubu's presidential campaign while Obaseki was insulting and spending in the opposite direction. Another bird sign that existed until Obaseki and Ighodalo were turned back from the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President just last week.
Unlike Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who relied on his achievements to push for a successor, Obaseki is relying on LIES to deceive unsuspecting and carried-away PDP members to lead them along with him to inevitable political defeat. Honesty isn't in his book but mendacious acculturation no matter where it leads, as long as some crumb seekers and ignorant voters are willing.
Yes, Obaseki and Akintunde as told their supporters, need Tinubu and Oshiomhole's support to win the Edo 2024 gubernatorial election. Without them, it is finished according to their imaginary script. If this is so according to the PDP, then it is cheap to find out who the governor will be long before the election because Tinubu and Oshiomhole are taking a firm stand already, and whether it is for Akintunde's PDP or Okpebholo's APC is beginning to unfold.
According to Hercules, "May my victory not be dependent on the mercy of my adversaries." Obaseki has insulted and vilified Tinubu and Oshiomhole, and it is foolhardy to think the trickster has the magic wand to rewrite the memories of other men. Obaseki-Ighodalo according to the Senate President will be defeated without much ado. The authorities and the party (APC/PDP and others) are against Obaseki-Ighodalo. They are only left with lousy election hustlers on payroll with a self-obtained umbrella colored in PDP only for the ballot.
