The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Benue South Senatorial District, Daniel Onjeh has called for the cancellation of elections in Agatu and Otukpo Local Government Areas of the zone over issues bothering on electoral malpractices.

According to Onjeh, there was no accreditation in Agatu, where Mark was declared winner by the returning officer.
The candidate in a statement issued on Monday through the media section of the DayBreak Campaign Organisation, claimed that in Otukpo, the number of results announced was more the number of the people accredited.

“This is broad daylight robbery. Where did the result in Agatu come from? We all know that people in Agatu are in disarray because of the ongoing crisis in the area. From the report we got, there was no accreditation in many interior villages where Mark reportedly got over 15,000 votes. This is not possible.
“David Mark and his agents should explain to us where they got that Otukpo result from. How on earth will the number of votes surpass the number of those accredited? 


 “Even in Orokam where Onjeh convincingly floored Mark with wide margin, the result was manipulated along the road and he was declared winner in Orokam. We are calling on INEC to cancel election in these areas.

“Also in Ehaje Ward 2 where I won at the poll, the result was different in Otukpo.
The candidate further retreiated his stand that the INEC should stand by the record on its card reader to avoid further manipulation.
“We have pictorial evidence of how PDP agents were sharing morning to voters on queue and terrorising APC agents in Otukpa and some other interior villages. What else is robbery if not this?

“The electoral body should not allow its efforts to be soiled. Mark is on his way back to Akpegede and we are all are of that,” the statement added.
