2023: Benue PDP reveals activities of unknown persons collecting voters identification details

By Titus Atondu, Makurdi

The Benue State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, (PDP), has revealed the activities of some yet to be identified persons who are allegedly going about in rural areas with documents requesting and collecting voters identification details.

The Acting chairman of the party in the State,  Hon. Isaac Mffo,   made this known at a press conference last week at  the Secretariat in Makurdi, lamenting over the alleged continuous vandalisation and destruction of the party’s billboard by the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, (APC).

He stated  that  the motives of such persons are suspect and called on the people to reject in entirety their activities.

He also called on security agencies to investigate and apprehend those persons as their activities very likely could be targeted at subverting the electoral process and distorting the popular mandate of Benue electorate.

“We have paid stipulated levies for carrying out some activities, this we do to lead by example as the ruling political party in Benue State, however, sadly many of the campaign materials we have mounted have been vandalised and destroyed by our opponents.

“A situation where one party alone plays by the rules while others flout the rules with impunity cannot be said to be truly one that law and order prevails,” he frowned.

On the health of the Party’s Governorship candidate, Titus Uba, the Chairman said he is very much in good health having recovered sufficiently from the bout of illness he suffered recently, even as he called on the opposition in the State, particularly the APC to put the State and humanity above their quest for power by not displaying mischief and lies as weapon of political warfare.
