SPIRITUAL ANALYSIS OF #APC In a Time of War, Deception is Counted a Virtue. But how do you Explain #APCPropaganda that is Bereft of Truth? #APC like BH is at War with Nigeria. #APC is like Ishmael, the Son of Abram (Abraham), born by a Slave-Mother, who was Cursed by God from the Womb: And he (Ishmael) will be a Wild Man; his hand will be against every man, and every mans hand against him; and he shall Dwell in the Presence of all his Brethren. (Genesis 16:12) I was bothered about a Progressive Party which started well, who we Hoped will be the Foundation of a New Nigeria. But #APC went into Self Destruction Mode and out its Rubbles came an Incubus that relishes in Propaganda and everything Evil because of the Thirst for Power. It is a Party that is against everything Government, AntiGoverment and in Rebellion against God Almighty: Pyrrhic Victory Before the election in Osun, the APC went to town telling the whole world it would be rigged. Every so often, it came out with broadsides as to the Discovery of Fresh Plans to Rig the Election which it discovered through its detective agency. Its Sherlock Holmes in this regard is Lai Mohammed, its Publicity Secretary. Lai Mohammed has the Unique Capacity to Smell Smoke where there is no Fire whatsoever. These days, whenever he makes an Announcement, it is to cry wolf yet again. A Dishonest Party will tend to presume dishonesty in others, especially when it discovers that its Traditional Channels for Manipulating Elections have been blocked. The APC Doctrine implies that no election can be won in the Nigeria unless it is rigged. This doctrine cannot be conveniently jettisoned now that APC has won in Osun. The APC position is like the backward belief in Nigeria that, if anybody dies, he or she must have been killed. Likewise, if anybody wins an election in Nigeria, it must have been rigged, according the APC. Since, therefore, the only way the PDP could have won the Ekiti election was by rigging it; then by the same token, the only way the APC could have won the Osun election is by rigging it. Therefore, the APC needs to tell Nigerians how it managed to rig the Osun election. Otherwise, Lai Mohammed, John Odigie-Oyegun and the entire APC Party Apparatus owe Nigerians, the PDP and INEC a big apology for maligning virtually everybody just because it was running scared of losing in Osun. APC Damage-Control The very fact that Osun was a make-or-break election for the APC, leading it to cry wolf again and again, shows that the APC lost the election in Osun even before it took place. Here is a party that has Pretensions of overthrowing the Ruling PDP Nationally in 2015. And yet, this same party was scared to death of losing an election in what is supposed to be its backyard. Can anyone imagine the PDP being afraid of losing an election in Bayelsa or Akwa Ibom? Of course not! But this is what happens to an APC party that, in spite of all its bluster, had been trounced in Ekiti; one of its Putative Strongholds. Under normal circumstances, Osun should be a cakewalk for APC. It is supposedly an APC Redoubt. The Incumbent Governor belongs to the APC. In the Last Presidential Election of 2011, Osun was the only South-West state that PDP lost to the ACN. The voters opted massively for the ACN by a nearly two-to-one margin vis-à-vis the PDP. Why then should the APC be so afraid of losing Osun if it were not for the fact that, instead of growing stronger, the party is actually growing weaker. The APC has been running petrified since Ekiti. The entire party has been suffering from high blood pressure. Every other day, Lai Mohammed or John Odigie-Oyegun comes up with yet another wolf-cry, alerting everybody that would listen that the PDP, in collusion with INEC, has perfected plans to truncate the democratic process, rig elections and retain the PDP and Goodluck Jonathan in power forever. Since the APC ended up by winning the Osun election convincingly, it can only mean that this ginormous PDP/INEC rigging machinery is not up to scratch. As a matter of fact, it apparently fails every so often. It failed in Ondo, where Mimiko and his Labour Party prevailed over the PDP. It failed in Anambra, where APGA, and not the PDP, won the gubernatorial election. Since it has failed yet again in Osun, it cannot be what the APC is touting it to be. The truth is that it is all a figment of APC’s Anti-Democratic Imagination. APC bigwigs are not only sore-losers, they are sore-candidates. Such temperament is not needed in today’s new dispensation. Bad Omen In the end, Governor Aregbesola of the APC won the Osun election convincingly. His margin of vis-à-vis his PDP rival amounts to a landslide victory. But placed within the framework of the forthcoming Presidential Election, the Osun election is a Major Defeat for the APC. It actually suggests that, without the benefit of incumbency, and with a Northerner as opposed to a Southerner as the likely APC candidate, APC will most likely lose Osun to the PDP in the forthcoming Presidential Election. I repeat; Osun was the only South-West State that Jonathan lost in 2011. PDP obtained 188,409 votes to ACN’s 299,711. That is a relative vote-share of 38% PDP to 62% ACN. But three years later, in this gubernatorial election, PDP obtained 292,747 votes to ACN/APC’s 394.684. That is a relative vote-share of 42% PDP to 58% ACN/APC. That shows the Strength of the PDP has Increased in Osun State, relative to that of the APC. When you factor in the APC power of incumbency in Osun, then this election becomes nothing short of Disastrous for APC’s Presidential Aspirations. Posted With Additional Inputs From Femi Aribisala
