YPP: A PARTY WITHOUT STRUCTURE, VISION, OR DIRECTION
It is quite unfortunate that a negligible cultural organization that styles itself as a political party (YPP) that is represented by the highest debtor in the land, a regular visitor to the antigraft agency of Nigeria, a confirmed fuel subsidy looter, in the person of Ifeanyi Uba, could sponsor malicious articles against a globally celebrated CEO, a respected corporate titan with a clean record, and a CNN recognized international sports developer, Valentine Ozigbo who is the candidate of a real political party of repute, PDP.
How could a gubernatorial candidate who emerged through a dubious and unverifiable process in his one-man-business Young Progressive Party (YPP), who recently lost a silly and meddlesome court challenge of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Court of Appeal, instead of hiding his face in shame decides to sponsor fake news against the PDP? Mind you, the PDP has consistently ignored this political featherweight because he is totally inconsequential in the scheme.
Make no mistake about it, for all intents and purposes, the Anambra Governorship race is a three-horse race - PDP, APGA, and APC. Every other party on the ballot is a mere decoration to make up the numbers.
The only reason why Ifeanyi is the Senator representing Anambra South today is because of the corrupting presence of the Uba Brothers - Chris and Andy who captured the tickets of APC and PDP tickets and the treachery of Chris Azubogu against his own party in 2019. Outside these two factors, Ifeanyi would have remained a perpetually defeated aspirant.
What is the silly report that got me breaking my tradition of ignoring losers in this campaign? The PDP had scheduled the inauguration of its National Campaign Council for Anambra 2021 for Monday, September 6, 2021. It was originally scheduled for Thursday, September 2, 2021. Then moved to Friday, September 3, 2021 before being moved to Monday. The reasons are at the request of PDP governors or a section of them who really wanted to be present to show support for their party.
Because YPP is a cardboard party where Ifeanyi's word is law, it doesn't understand that a real political party has the responsibility of carrying critical stakeholders along. The concept is alien to Ifeanyi and YPP, which has become the new face of agbero politics in the South East.
So on Monday, before the entire press corp of Nigeria - another happening alien to YPP and Ifeanyi - the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) announced that the event had been rescheduled due to the unavoidable absence of all the PDP governors who were in an urgent national security meeting over the crisis in Plateau State.
This is a piece of verifiable information. This update, being the truth, was accepted by the entire press community, which captured the announcement on camera or on tape.
But, the discredit spinner of lies and fabrication, the king of fake news in the South East, the freelance cut-and-join media interloper Victor Eneh decided to make a story out of nothing. The inauguration of the National Campaign Council, at the request of the PDP Governors Forum, which was represented by its DG Hon CID Maduabum was rescheduled for Thursday, September 9, 2021.
What this means is that in less than 24 hours there will be evidence all over the Nigerian media space to prove that Victor Eneh is on a desperate mission to assassinate the character of PDP and its globally acclaimed gubernatorial flag-bearer, Valentine Ozigbo.
This is a warning to the Enugu-state born media quack, Victor Eneh. The options before you are now very few. Having spent many years exposing your dubious nature to the Anambra political community, only a desperate politician like Ifeanyi Ubah, a man who is seeking the governorship of Anambra for the primary reason of obtaining immunity from prosecution for his many financial crimes, would engage an equally criminally minded tout like you to work for him. Indeed, birds of the same feather do flock together.
So what is the warning, your days working to entrench bad governance in Anambra State is over. This election is the last of your comedic media spectacle in Anambra
