The David Olofu Campaign Council, has condemned strongly, the alleged forceful snatching and diversion of electoral materials intended for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) primaries in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency.

A statement signed by the Secretary, David Olofu Campaign Council, Adakole Elijah, said they received reports that armed individuals and thugs intercepted the vehicle conveying the party’s electoral materials and the Apa Local Government ADC Chairman, Hon. Sharon Adokpe.

The statement said “the Chairman was pushed out of the moving vehicle, while the perpetrators fled with the materials to unknown destination.”

“The Campaign Council states unequivocally that no primary election took place in Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency under these circumstances.”

The council called on the State and National leadership of the African Democratic Congress to reject any result purportedly arising from the disrupted process.

They further urged the Nigeria Police Force and other relevant security agencies to immediately investigate the incident, apprehend all individuals involved, and prevent the circulation or validation of any fraudulent result from the purported exercise.

The Campaign Council also demanded the disqualification of any beneficiary of the said process insisting that all perpetrators be prosecuted to the full extent of the law to safeguard the integrity of the party’s internal democratic process.

Elijah said the David Olofu Campaign Council remains committed to a free, fair, and transparent contest and will continue to pursue all lawful means to ensure justice is done.
