Publisher of Ovation Magazine and The Boss Newspaper, Dele Momodu has alleged that the Edo election was high stakes for many in the presidency who were desperate to show President Bola Tinubu that they could also deliver the same for him in the 2027 election.
In a post on his X handle, Momodu said the operation was codenamed ‘Oga Wants It.’
Momodu, who is also a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said chieftains of his party were co-opted to ensure that APC wins Edo. He also claimed that some of the moles were part of the people around Governor Godswill Obaseki.
He said in the post, “Without any prejudice to whatever INEC announces today as the supposed results of the Edo Governorship election, please, permit me to make some quick observations, not in any particular order, and give you the outcome ahead of time.
“1. I’m flabbergasted that some Nigerians still expect APC to lose this particular election. It is practically impossible and I’m ready to place a modest bet on it.
“2. I will be very disappointed if my Governor and Brother, Godwin Obaseki, is unaware of a special operation codenamed OGA WANTS IT. Most of the principal State actors, both in APC and PDP, are involved in the gangsterism. Only a few are disinterested.
“OBASEKI is surrounded by some wolves in sheep’s clothing, unfortunately. I will pardon ASUE IGHODALO if he’s somehow naive at this stage of his political career and adventure, not to understand the usual chicanery in Nigerian politics.
“3. OGA not only wants it, OGA needs it, like oxygen for survival. The acolytes are desperate to deceive OGA, that all is well and he can count on them to deliver any State in future elections, despite their abysmally despicable performances in power.
“4. The two camps working together in a temporary marriage of convenience are majorly in APC while those in PDP are mostly those serving their second terms who are not oblivious to the YAHYA BELLO treatment. The ones in PDP are in ALLEGIANCE with their ringleader whose voluptuous Presidential ambition is not hidden. The permutation is that if for whatever reason OGA is not able to run, then the Mafia Don will have PDP in reserve, since APC has a preponderance of would-be competitors. That is all.
“Even within the Mafia group, there are still some lily-livered members who have suppressed their own Presidential and Vice Presidential ambitions, out of mortal fear for their rambunctious leader… Once OGA WANTS IT, OGA MUST HAVE IT, by all means. My people of EDO STATE, please, cool temper… Have faith ONLY in GOD… I will come back later to tell you how the big ego of some opposition gangs will continue to make matters worse.”
