“London Bridge is falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.”
The age-old nursery rhyme, “London Bridge is Falling Down,” paints a picture of collapse and the struggle to rebuild—a metaphor that now resonates with the political landscape in Ikpoba Okha.
The recent APC rally in Ikpoba Okha LGA, traditionally a stronghold of the PDP’s gubernatorial running mate, Osarodion Ogie, has unveiled a seismic shift in local politics. This rally, part of the APC’s ward-to-ward campaign, highlighted the weakening grip of the PDP in the region.
A massive turnout and the vibrant energy of the crowd underscored the rally’s success, signaling a growing momentum for APC candidates, Monday Okpebholo and Dennis Idahosa. The overwhelming support at the event starkly contrasts with the waning influence of the PDP, reminiscent of the gradual collapse depicted in the nursery rhyme.
This rally marks a significant turning point, illustrating the APC’s increasing foothold in what was once PDP territory, and signaling a major transformation in the political dynamics of Ikpoba Okha.
