Senator David Mark casting his vote
The Benue state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised alarm over the plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the results of the Benue South senatorial rerun.
Recall that results so far have favoured the candidate of the PDP and the immediate past Senate president, David Mark, against his main rival, David Onjeh, of the APC, at the Saturday’s re-run election.
State chairman of the PDP Dr Emmanuel Agbo said the APC has hijacked the results from the polling units in Ogbadibo local government area and have refused to hand over to the collation officers.
The party claimed the APC candidate Daniel Onjeh is the one leading the charade.
“As a party we call on all security operatives to arrest the situation forthwith so that the will of the people will not be thwarted. The APC in connivance with some security operatives have refused to allow the PDP agents access to the result sheets,” the PDP said.
“Field reports from the polling centres have shown that the PDP has got 75 per cent of the votes cast across the Senatorial District which the APC is uncomfortable with.“

The PDP however express appreciation to the people of Benue, otherwise called the Idoma/Igede nation, for the support and solidarity to the PDP.
“In spite of the unprovoked attacks, our people came out in their large numbers to vote for the PDP candidate Senator David Mark,” the PDP added.
