Emmanuel Eche-Ofun John, the media adviser to Senator Abba Patrick Moro, has launched a scathing attack on the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Benue South, Hon. Dr. Francis Ottah Agbo, dismissing the party’s primary election as a “charade.”
Eche-Ofun made the remarks while reacting to a Facebook post by Otokpa Dickson concerning a pending court case over the outcome of the primary. “Hmm. So, this is the collation officer of that charade of an election that we watched online? What a shame!” he wrote.
In a separate response to one Chris Onumah, the media adviser defended former House of Representatives member Hon. Nelson Alapa and criticised those questioning Alapa’s political standing. “Obviously, you don’t know who Hon. Nelson Alapa is. When he was in the House of Representatives, I wonder where you and your principal were,” Eche-Ofun stated.
He further maintained that the primary election results must be legally challenged, stressing the need to protect the integrity of the electoral process. “Nobody is pushing him, but if I had my way, I would push him to take the issue seriously. That charade was an insult to him and all those who contested that primary. Such illegality and electoral rascality should never be allowed to stand so that it doesn’t become a reference point,” he added.
