BREAKING: Moses Ternenge, a Tiv man cannot impose senatorial candidate on Idoma – Dan Onjeh spits fire [VIDEO]

Former National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Daniel Onjeh, has criticized alleged attempts by external forces to influence the choice of a senatorial candidate for Benue South ahead of the 2027 elections.

Onjeh, in a video posted on his Facebook page, specifically faulted Prince Moses Ternenge, a politician from Benue North East Senatorial District, also known as Zone A, over what he described as interference in the political affairs of Benue South Senatorial District, Zone C.

According to him, Benue South possesses enough qualified personalities to determine its political direction without outside influence.

“Prince Moses Ternenge, a Tiv man from Benue North East, Zone A, cannot impose a senatorial candidate on Benue South, Zone C, with its array of professors and academic doctors,” Onjeh stated.

The APC chieftain also took a swipe at an unnamed aspirant allegedly being presented as an “anointed candidate” within the party.

He accused the aspirant of defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) without bringing any political structure or grassroots support.

“Even more ridiculous is the claim by some aspirants that somebody is the anointed candidate. The person came solely to APC without a single follower from his former party PDP and hopes to reap where he did not sow,” he said.

Onjeh further argued that political followership and party structures built over the years should not be undermined in the race for the Benue South senatorial ticket.

“You cannot come and rest on the followership that others have built over the years to run the senatorial race,” he added.
