Politicians in Delta State have resorted to GSM campaigns to realize their political ambition, Fresh Angle can report.
Apart from Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan who was recently declared winner in the just concluded rerun by INEC and the DPP gubernatorial candidate, Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru, who relied heavily on GSM campaign, a House of Representative aspirant, Tonye Timi has also resorted to the GSM as campaign medium. In a terse GSM message sent to Fresh Angle, the House of Representatives aspirant accused his opposition of bribery, deceit and ineptitude. The message reads in part “They offer: mercantilism, bribery, deceit, ineptitude etc. we offer: improved capacity backed by solid education”.
Political observers have attributed the new rave of GSM campaigns as a proof of the widening gulf between the political class and the electorates. While they posited that the strategy will further boost the economic base of the GSM operators, opinions are divided as to the efficacy of the new strategy.
