2023 All Progressives Congress(APC) Benue South senatorial candidate, Comrade Daniel Onjeh, has told suspended Benue APC Chairman Augustine Agada to stop trying to link Governor Hyacinth Alia with the seven-day ultimatum he recently gave to the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje and the party’s National Working Committee, to attend to his petition on anti-party activities against Agada or resign.

Onjeh said he stands firmly by his ultimatum to Gandujue and the APC NWC, claiming his decision resonates with all the progressives within the Benue APC.

He said the articles and audiovisuals circulated online with the title: “Alia, Onjeh move against Ganduje, call for APC Chairman, NWC immediate resignation” was another propaganda taken too far.

Speaking through Prince Maxwell Ogiri, the Director of Media for the Onjeh Campaign Organisation (OCO), Comrade Onjeh, further alleged the publication bares the imprints of a member of the House of Representatives.

“We have ample evidence at our disposal to support my claim of the source of the publication. I therefore humbly call on the general public to completely discountenance and disregard the fictitious story and its promoters.

“The informed members of the public can attest to the fact that no mainstream news media; whether print, electronic or online established on a foundation of ethical journalism, published or broadcasted the story because they know that it was fake,” Ogiri stated.

Onjeh stated that the ultimate aim of the crafters was to divert public attention from the core issues unsettling the APC in Benue State and sow the seed of discord and disaffection between Governor Alia and Ganduje with other members of the party’s NWC.

He charged Agada to leave Alia out of the issue, and answer the pertinent questions he raised in his petition before the APC National Working Committee.
