Benin, Edo – In a pointed message thrusting the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State into fresh controversy, civic base platform @monitng has accused the party of fostering "blind loyalty without critical thought".
The message, posted on X Tuesday, dissects a purported viral video by APC State Chairman Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, where he allegedly brands party members as "zombies" – mindless followers lacking sense, vision, or dignity.
"We just watched the viral video of Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, and it’s both shocking and revealing," the message address to Governor Monday Okpebholo (@m_akpakomiza) begins, framing Tenebe's remarks as a damning self-indictment of the APC's "lost direction, purpose, and connection to the people they claim to represent."
It escalates by mocking the party's evolution from a "change and progress" movement to one boasting inflated voter tallies – from "2.5 million impossible votes" to a newly claimed "3.5 million" – calling it a "fantasy" of "the zombie way."
@MonITNG, concludes with a rallying cry: "Zombie way na one way, but Edo people must never go that way."
The post urges Edo's residents to demand "leaders with integrity, foresight, and respect for truth" ahead of the 2027 elections, warning that "democracy thrives where citizens think, question, and act – not where they follow blindly."
The post arrives amid a turbulent year for Tenebe, the APC's acting chairman since mid-2024, whose tenure has been marked by a string of provocative videos and public spats. While the specific "zombies" clip remains unverified in recent searches, it echoes Tenebe's pattern of fiery, internal critiques.
In October 2023, as deputy chairman, he mocked Edo North APC aspirants in a viral recording, drawing rebukes from party insiders who accused him of "destroying the ladder that assisted you to climb."
More recently, in December 2024, Tenebe defended Governor Okpebholo's budget presentation gaffe by telling critics to "go to hell and burn to ashes," a retort that amplified national mockery.
Tenebe's rhetoric has spilled beyond party lines. In July 2025, he declared "hate" for Labour Party's Peter Obi, barring him from Edo without permission and linking visits to deaths – statements that sparked outrage and calls for APC accountability.
Earlier, in January 2025, he led a controversial invasion of the PDP secretariat in Benin City, deploying thugs backed by police, which the opposition decried as "executive recklessness."
