…Says, it’s an act of desperation by a canon folder
The All Progressives Congress (APC), Delta State chapter, has described the sponsored and orchestrated campaign of calumny under the guise of a ‘recall process’ against Senator Ede Dafinone as nothing but a blatant cheap blackmail and futile exercise that has fallen flat on its cheap face value.
The Party said that without mincing words, Fejiro Oliver, who is being used to carry out such media propaganda, holds no electoral mandate, no democratic legitimacy and no credible stake in the collective decision of the Delta Central electorate.
The Delta APC therefore warned Fejiro Oliver and his invisible sponsors that it would not tolerate any politically motivated blackmail or campaigns of calumny against its elected officials, particularly Senator Ede Dafinono, that has displayed honesty, proven integrity and exemplary leadership.
The Party said that is not unmindful of Fejiro Oliver’s pattern of malicious campaigns, which are often designed to serve the sinister motives of his shadowy paymasters that has been threatened by Senator Dafinone’s integrity, performance and rising profile.
This was as the party declared that none of the paid vaudevillian characters behind this comical charade are recognized card-carrying members of the APC, nor do they possess the moral or political standing to speak on behalf of the Party or the constituents of Delta Central.
A statement by Valentine Onojeghuo Esq., Publicity Secretary of the Delta State APC, stated that the State chapter of the APC led by Elder Omeni Sobotie, noted that Oliver’s efforts aimed at undermining the will of the people through media antics and veiled threats with the forlorn hopes of pecuniary rewards are not only disgraceful, but an affront to the intelligence and integrity of Delta Central constituents.
The APC in Delta while condemning the fathom recall exercise of Senator Dafinone, representing Delta Central Senatorial district, stressed that the recall exercise being embarked upon by Oliver is being embarked upon as a result of ignorance.
In the words of the Delata APC; “We categorically condemn this mischievous recall exercise in its entirety as a farcical exhibition of ignorance. For the purpose of clarity, we wish to state emphatically and without equivocation that this so-called recall effort is dead on arrival.
“It is a poorly scripted melodrama orchestrated by Fejiro Oliver, a notorious political blackmailer whose only claim to relevance is his capacity for blackmail and his engagement in online extortion.
“It is an established fact that Fejiro Oliver, the arrowhead of this shameful charade, is a well-known blackmailer whose stock-in-trade is concocting falsehoods, maligning credible individuals and launching smear campaigns in exchange for financial settlements.
“His record is littered with cases of harassment, media terrorism and serial defamation of public figures-all for profit and political manipulation. The people of Delta Central are far too enlightened to fall for such cheap, recycled tactics.
“It is no coincidence that this campaign surfaced at a time when Senator Dafinone is receiving widespread commendation across Delta Central for his sterling performance in the Senate.
“From robust legislative contributions to effective representation and development-focused interventions, Senator Dafinone has exceeded expectations and redefined public service in our Senatorial District.
“We wish to make it abundantly clear that none of these paid vaudevillian characters behind this comical charade are recognized card-carrying members of our Party, nor do they possess the moral or political standing to speak on behalf of our great Party or the constituents of Delta Central.
“It is on record that Senator Dafinone has conducted himself with utmost dignity, legislative excellence and unwavering dedication to the people of Delta Central since his assumption of office. His record speaks for itself.”
“We challenged Oliver and his paymasters to come clean. Who is bankrolling this deceitful campaign? Whose interests are served by undermining the good work of Senator Dafinone? The people of Delta Central will not be used as pawns in their unholy vendetta and clandestine attempts to reclaim bygone days,” the APC stressed.
The Party emphasised that Senator Ede Dafinone enjoys the full confidence and support of the APC leadership and members in Delta State, stressing that there is no legitimate recall effort recognized or endorsed by the Party or by any credible leader in Delta Central.
It further said; “We not stand idly by while the name of a performing Senator is dragged through the mud by political miscreants and media mercenaries.
“Ironically, on what moral authority does Fejiro Oliver base his call for the recall of Senator Ede Dafinone when he neither participated in nor cast a vote during the 2023 senatorial elections that duly elected the Senator?
“It is a glaring display of political hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy for someone who abdicated his civic responsibility to now position himself as a mouthpiece for the people.
“His efforts to undermine the will of the people through media antics and veiled threats with the forlorn hopes of pecuniary rewards are not only disgraceful but also an affront to the intelligence and integrity of Delta Central constituents.
“We are prepared to expose, confront and dismantle any further efforts to undermine our legislative representatives in the guise of a questionable recall process laced with unwarranted malice.
“The people of Delta Central are not fools and will not be swayed by the antics of serial blackmailers like Fejiro Oliver. Let the detractors take notice that Delta APC stands with Senator Ede Dafinone, and no amount of noise, lies or blackmail will change that,” the APC, Delta State chapter stressed.
