Benue LG Poll: You Did Not Stand For Truth And Due Process – Senator Moro Knocks Hyacinth Alia
The Senate Minority leader, Abba Moro, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the local government election conducted in Benue State.
He described it as a sham and an insult to democracy.
Naija News reports that the local government election was conducted in Benue State on Saturday, 5th October.
Reacting via a statement by his media aide, Emmanuel Eche’Ofun John, the senator claimed that reports from polling units across his senatorial district indicate that elections did not hold.
Moro, who represents Benue South Senatorial District, said that election materials and officials of the BSIEC “were not seen anywhere except in the premises of APC leaders where ballots were thumb-printed for their candidates”.
The senator expressed disappointment in the state governor, Hyacinth Alia, “for not standing by the truth and due process as promised during his electioneering campaign”.
Moro said he expected the governor, as a priest, to push for a paradigm shift by doing what’s right and not referencing and copying what was wrongly done in the past.
He said democracy was fiercely fought for, with some people paying the supreme price, stating that anti-democratic forces will not be allowed to destroy the system.
