David Olofu Campaign Council has rejected the outcome of the ADC primaries in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency following the alleged snatching of electoral materials by suspected thugs.
The David Olofu Campaign Council, in a statement signed by its Secretary, Adakole Elijah, has condemned the alleged forceful snatching and diversion of electoral materials meant for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) primaries in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency.
According to the council, armed individuals and suspected thugs intercepted the vehicle conveying the party’s electoral materials alongside the Apa Local Government ADC Chairman, Hon. Sharon Adokpe.
The council alleged that the chairman was pushed out of the moving vehicle, while the attackers fled with the electoral materials to an unknown destination.
It maintained that, under the circumstances, no valid primary election took place in the Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency.
The campaign council, therefore, called on the state and national leadership of the ADC to reject any result that may have emerged from the disrupted exercise.
It also urged the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies to investigate the incident, apprehend those allegedly involved and prevent the validation or circulation of any result arising from the exercise.
The council further demanded the disqualification of any beneficiary of the purported process and called for the prosecution of all perpetrators to preserve the integrity of the party’s internal democratic process.
It reaffirmed its commitment to a free, fair and transparent contest, insisting that it would continue to pursue all lawful means to ensure justice is served.
