Edo 2024: APC’s Brilliant Photoshop, tepid Conclusion
By Tony Alile
My attention was drawn to a photoshop of a certain event where Gov Godwin Obaseki standing behind Dr Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in the Edo State gubernatorial election, and a bottle of Don Perignon standing alone under the table.
The not too smart writer concluded by saying that Gov Obaseki and Dr Asue were indulging themselves with a bottle of drink costing four hundred thousand Naira.
A few things readily come to mind when you look at the picture again; the first being that the table is a high table with no covering on any side. So how does that amount to hiding something that you can still see? Is that not to silly?
Secondly, on top of the table you have mostly water bottles and microphones which suggests that the event was a serious event and not a relaxation evening outing as suggested by the incompetent APC hatchers.
Thirdly, both individuals were billionaires before one of them came into public office and the other seeking public office. Four hundred and twenty thousand Naira from their personal income should not be much of an issue for them. This is apart from the fact that the picture is a dumb photoshop.
This was contained in a statement issued by Hon Tony Alile
Spokesperson, Asue/Ogie
Campaign Council, noted that the flip side however for me is that the writer helps see more clearly how much the APC government has ruined this country with galloping inflation.
He claims the drink is four hindred and twenty thousand Naira, which under the current exchange rate of 1600 is actually $262. Under Goodluck that same Don Perignon would have cost only fifty five thousand.
Since the writer wants to remind us of current prices of goods I would like to do him a favour that Garri that used to cost N600 ten years ago now costs N4000.
The cow head that used to cost 8k is now 80k. Let’s remind him that it’s not only drinks for the rich that have become pricey, items for the poor and middle class have also become out of reach for them.
So the conclusion of the silly post is actually a reminder of how exorbitant things have become under the APC led administration. If APC doesn’t kill this country, I don’t see what else will.
